NO!

These things can not be passed on the command line.  That is a gaping
security hole.  suexec is designed in a very restrictive manner on purpose
with the assumption that anything passed on the command line is suspect,
and should be treated as such.  That is why there is a hardcoded 
docroot, etc.
