I eventually found I was misguided, on perhaps more than one count, by
things I had read elsewhere. I thought mod_webapp was more difficult and
primarily geared towards Apache2. I'll take another look at it though. I
eventually did find something that talked about building mod_jk a more sane
way (make vs. ant) and it seemed to work ok, although I'm not entirely sure
I got the configure options entirely correct. Current problems are
two-fold:
1) mod_jk won't load because:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/mod_jk.so into server:
/usr/lib/apache/mod_jk.so: undefined symbol: jni_worker_factory
2) Tomcat gets an error on startup and shutdown:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/xml/sax/InputSource
at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:262)
at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:179)
The latter seems like it should be simple enough but no fiddling with the
location of sax.jar or twiddling with the classpath has worked so far.
I'll go take another look at mod_webapp though. Thanks for the pointer!
I've never experienced Debian, but I applaude the effort. However, if
management can't buy support for it from some big comapny it's not going to
happen!

There's also mod_webapp which I would recommend for new installations.
All the Apache connectors are in the jakarta-tomcat-connectors archive
at http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.12/src/

I don't know what's missing here but I was able to build Tomcat 4.1.12
with Ant, Xalan 2 and Xerces 2 without any problems. You don't even need
any Java classes or Java compiler to just build mod_webapp:
cd connectors/webapp
autoconf
./configure --disable-java --disable-docs --disable-apidoc-java \
--disable-apidoc-c --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs2
This is for Apache 2.0, use /usr/bin/apxs (or wherever apxs is installed
on your distribution) for Apache 1.3. You probably need to install the
Apache development package for this.

Yes they are: You could switch to Debian/390 and install the
libapache-mod-jk package for Apache 1.3 or libapache2-mod-webapp for
Apache 2.0. ;-)
