It is straightforward to do. eg. To set up two virtual hosts listening
to different ports and having different doc roots on Apache v1.3:

[Other Apache params]

Listen 1.2.3.4:80 
Listen 1.2.3.4:443

[More Apache params]

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
    ServerName www.mydomain.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxx
    DocumentRoot /my/doc/route/html
    ErrorLog /my/log/route/logs/error_log
    TransferLog /my/log/route/logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>  

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443>
    ServerName www.mydomain.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxx
    DocumentRoot
/my/doc2/route/html                 
    ErrorLog
/my/log/route2/logs/error_log                   
    TransferLog
/my/log/route2/logs/access_log                  
</VirtualHost>

I have simplified the configuration parameters greatly for illustration
purposes only.

It shouldn't be providing the MySQL default port of 3306 is closed and
PHP
is communicating with it using localhost or via a socket. If security
is
important, you should consider putting everything into a chroot jail
for
added protection but the set up is quite involved.
