Take a look at the mod_alias module:

• http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod%5Falias.html
• http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod%5Falias.html

"The Alias directive allows documents to be stored in the local filesystem other than under the DocumentRoot. URLs with a (%-decoded) path beginning with url-path will be mapped to local files beginning with directory-path. The url-path is case-sensitive, even on case-insenitive file systems."

Example:

Alias /private /opt/private
<Directory /opt/private>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
