Marcelo,
Unless you're using FCGI to host your Radiant and other apps, I would
advise against using the .htaccess. It's better to do the configuration
in a regular config file, whether the main Apache httpd.conf or an
included file. I would also either alias given URL paths to your other
apps' public directories or use rewrite rules to proxy to the proper
Mongrel-cluster. Placing them as soft links inside your Radiant app is
probably not advisable -- it could get too unpredictable.
