Yes, it's possible.  The apache server needs access to the BackupPC
TopDir and configuration files, so you need to NFS mount those.  It
also needs the identical version of BackupPC installed (or you can NFS
mount the installation directory too).  The paths for these directories
need to be the same on both the server and apache machines.

You should then set $Conf{ServerPort}, $Conf{ServerHost} and
$Conf{ServerMesgSecret}.  If $Conf{ServerPort} > 0 then the CGI
code contacts the server at $Conf{ServerHost}:$Conf{ServerPort}.
