I can't speak for mod_proxy, but using mod_rewrite won't work.

Using mod_rewrite literally tells the web browser to rewrite the requested 
URL and ask for it...meaning that he'd point at http://some.domain.com, 
and apache would tell the browser to resend the request, but this time to 
http://some.domain.com:10000.

Assigning a different port to webmin, or port redirection via NAT would 
seem to be his only options.
