I recently did an emerge -Up world on a machine with apache 1.3 w/ mod_php and it wants to bump me to apache-2.0.47 and mod_php-4.3.2-r3. Spoke to a couple people on #gentoo and they agreed with me that apache2 and mod_php still do not play nicely. I'd rather be sure on this than emerge and find they are incompatible.

Yes. It has been announced quite widely (mailing lists, forums) that this stable move was happening. mod_php and apache2 work _fine_ together. Just be sure to read the upgrade instructions that emerge prints out and all works well.
