AFAIK, the logging in apache is done at a very basic level and is not
switch-off-able (neither should it be - logs are important).

However, it's a bit of a non-problem... if you don't like looking at
403s, filter them out with a perl-script before you open the log file
(from the docs, "...It is often easier to simply post-process the log
files to remove requests that you do not want to consider...").

Alternatively, remember that you can write logs to pipe so you can put a
filter script there that discards 403s or whatever...
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#piped)
