I did this using the reverse_proxy directive. It helps if you have a static 
ip from your isp, and also you'll have to be sure that they aren't blocking 
incoming port 80 requests to your ip. For the second then make sure you can 
see your gateway's server from the internet via ip addr otherwise there's 
no point.

Jeff, you do realize that to do this with apache you'll need to be running 
apache on your gateway box as well as on the other server on your lan, 
right? Then the reverse proxy establishes that

e.g. port 80 get requests to 202.22.11.9/jeffstuff
serves content from 192.168.0.5

so that second box also must be running apache. At least this describes how 
I got it to run. - then quickly disallowed all outside reqs ;)
