Nope, and they won't be for a while. Apache2+prefork, if you use the CVS
versions of both, should be ok, but any of the threaded mpms are likely to
cause problems with 3rd party libraries linked into PHP because the
threadsafety of these libraries is questionable and out of our control. It
may work, but you have to do some very thorough testing of all external
libraries you plan on using with PHP before you put a server into a
production environment.

Something as common as libpq (the PostgreSQL client library), for example,
is threadsafe, except if you have a call to CRYPT() in an SQL query.  So,
an Apache2/PHP/PostgreSQL may or may not be threadsafe depending on the
actual SQL queries used...  *sigh*
