Jerry, Installing DB2 Client will allow you to use the ODBC functions in PHP, but be aware that you are not actually using any ODBC Drivers in this instance. PHP allows hiding of certain database specific functions under a "Unified ODBC" that uses the ODBC functions without using true ODBC database communication.
That being said, you don't need to link --with-iODBC unless you are using ODBC Drivers, so it's not an issue here. If Apache doesn't start, I'd check it's logs, but you might be encountering a situation where the DB2 libraries were in the path at compile time and are not at Apache start time. Try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the location of your DB2 Client. Hope this helps.
