I don't think so.
PHP is often used as CGI, at least with shared-hosting.
The problem is that with PHP as Apache-Module, it is run as the 
webserver-user (probably "nobody", "apache", "www-run" or the like), so 
all files created by php (typotemp/*, uploaded files fileadmin/* ...) 
are owned by this user. This results in not being able to delete/edit 
this files as ftp/shell-access user.
PHP as CGI can be run as the user owning the php-files (SUEXEC in 
Apache), so the files are owned by the correct user.

(There is also something like suphp: php as module mimicking SUEXEC, but 
I have no experiences with this....)
