No, just compile and link as a shareable image with a linker option deck 
with the following:

IDENTIFICATION="CSWS V2.1-1"            ! VMS port version
BUILD_IDENT="HTTPD V2.0.52"             ! HTTP release build
GSMATCH=LEQUAL,2,0                      ! major.minor ID: 2.0

APACHE$HTTPD_SHR/Shareable              ! HTTPD Shareable Library
APACHE$APU_SHR/Shareable                ! APU Shareable Library
APACHE$APR_SHR/Shareable                ! APR Shareable Library

SYMBOL_VECTOR=(LIMITIPCONN_MODULE=DATA)

OK.  I have downloaded the code.  The compile complains about 

#include <sys/shm.h>
.^
%CC-F-NOINCLFILEF, Cannot find file <sys/shm.h> specified in #include directive.
at line number 55 in file APACHE$COMMON:[000000.BUILD.TMESIS_EXTENSIONS.mod_cband]mod_cband.c;1

I'll have to look into this.  Perhaps, it's available in the porting library.
