In true Unix tradition. Both, one could configure appache to read a users 
configuration for the mime types, however 99.99% of the installations of one 
mime-type file which is system-wide. This kind of stuff is something you 
would like to keep under strict controll by the sysadmin. Otherwise all kind 
of (mis/ab)use could be made of it.
Not to mention all the extra overhead one would introduce in the systems to 
parse the mimetype-list for each request of a user-page.
