Could you write a CGI program that serves the file? I don't know where 
Apache's 4 GB limit is. But if the limitation is in how Apache accesses 
the filesystem and not in how it manages network connections, then 
maybe a program that is capable of reading large files could get around 
the limit. This would most likely require mangling the URLs to the 
large files to really point to the program, unless you can do some 
mod_rewrite magic.
