You could run them on different ports...  (I run Webmin and Apache on the same box on different ports.  Of course, they *have* to run on different ports:  Webmin supplies its own HTTP server.)

Or, I think you can get away without having Apache run as backuppc if you *don't* use mod_perl.  Seeing as the Web interface doesn't really do much, I never have it run using mod_perl anyway.  From what I read in the doc, you could then run the web interface as whatever you want (say, apache) and be fine.  I have never tried myself, so I can't say for sure.
