Well, the obvious part is the apache2 conf:

  ErrorLog /dev/fd/3

And run script is:

  exec /usr/sbin/apache2 -DNO_DETACH -E /dev/fd/1 3>&1

This has the nice property that the -E output goes through the same
pipe as the error log.  Sometimes I don't get a clean restart for
whatever reason, so I added a finish script:

  sleep 5
  rm -f /var/log/apache2/error/lock  # maybe not needed
  pkill -9 apache2

And the log script is as usual:

  exec svlogd -tt /var/log/apache2/error

I like -tt because modperl warnings don't otherwise get a timestamp.
