Though I have no idea about them, mod_proxy with (or without)
mod_rewrite allow just that.

Assume that Apache is running on http://localhost/ and you (say user)
want to provide some WEBrick servlet services on port 2000 as if that
is a part of Apache url hierarchy: http://localhost/~user/webrick/ .
The following works so. 

% cd ~/public_html/webrick
% cat .htaccess
Options Indexes FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost:2000/$1 [P,L]
% 

# I'm a mod_rewrite newbie and this must be odd but working ;-)
