It may be possible for each user to run their own instance of a web and DB server provided that each instance is configured to listen on a unique unprivileged port and the data directory is writable to the user. Worst case scenario, each user will have their own set of bins installed in $HOME (I typically use $HOME/local for this) especially if each user requires different versions. apachectl has an option for specifying a configuration file though so it may be possible for you to have centralized bins for your users. Each user will just have to have a unique configuration file. pg_ctl and mysqld_safe allows you to specify the data directory and the port as well. To get daemons to automatically start up on boot for each user, you can make @reboot entries in the crontab of each user. Since you're looking at running eclipse and netbeans, you may want to make sure that the LTSP server is powerful enough to run multiple instances of all the software you require.
