Doesn't make sense to me, as the ASF doesn't release binaries. Has that been changed?
The ASF routinely releases binaries in Javaland, and even in httpd, binaries are released by the ASF for httpd for Windows.
As Java binaries work everywhere (in theory), it is straightforward to make and depend on released binaries as there is only one binary to release.
Maven supports the idea of both platform independent and platform specific binaries, what would be needed would be people willing to build binaries for a particular platform.
Alternatively, if JNI bindings exist for APR (no idea what interface tomcat uses, but I am assuming there is some kind of Java wrapper there somewhere), the JNI bindings can be published to a maven repo, and the APR could then be deployed according whatever the best practice was on that platform (rpm, deb, pkg, whatever).
