Yes, that is what I'm looking at. There are several good ways to do
this sort of thing, I realize. I'm looking at an existing application
and wondering if there's a simple way to just drop it in to a
Apach/Tomcat setup. I'm also wonder how other folks do these things,
given that Apache can do simple plain text/as-is includes on its own,
since I will be adding to this application.

Probably, but if that's the only reason to complicate life by using
both Apache and Tomcat, it would be nice if we can remove that reason ;-)
But note that JSSI's support for NCSA SSI is not complete and I have not
done (and do not plan to, personally) anything more in that area than what's
already there.
But another reason for porting JSSI to Tomcat is to allow people to
move applications that rely on <servlet> tags and migrate them to
JSP (or whatever) over time instead of being forced to do it before
using Tomcat.

I like to fine tune it a bit before I'm ready for beta testers, but
when it's decided exactly what to do, I'll announce it here as well
as on the other Tomcat lists.

I'd guess most people let Apache serve *.html, and therefore Apache
handles NCSA-style SSIs.
Hans Bergsten recently proposed on tomcat-dev:
"After seeing a number of users on the TC user list asking about support
for <servlet> tags and NCSA SSI directives, I decided to port Apache
JSSI to Tomcat. Now it's basically done for TC 3.2, and the question is
what to do with it ;-)"

Great! This would be really useful for development, where one often
doesn't have Apache and Tomcat integrated.
Hans, if you need any beta-testers for what you've got, here they are ;)
