The default use of netjuke isn't really "streaming" the audio, it just generates a playlist that you can open in any compatible player (WinAMP, XMMS, etc). Since it's a playlist, the client is really just downloading the .mp3 or .ogg or whatever on the fly and playing it. A believe you can also "stream" if you want, but just using it as a music database that generates a playlist you can open from anywhere that can connect to the server won't cause much trouble. If Apache can handle a few clients downloading files once in a while as it moves through the playlist then the system shouldn't have any problems. :)
