That may or may not be an issue. On Windows we can load both the PHP and mod_ssl flavors of OpenSSL at the same time if their dll names are unique. Unless msvc resources opened in httpd are closed by mod_php or visa versa, two flavors of msvc can also coexist. So mod_php aught to load and function although mod_fcgid is still more optimal.
In a perfect world, but the realities today seem to be different. Then again, only VC9 Apache binaries are able to run mod_php anyway.
mod_fcgid alleviates both compiler/OpenSSL problems since it's running php in it's own process true, but at the cost of speed. I'm not sure I would consider that "optimal," but it works!
