(I'm guessing that the directories are already executable by the group).

Yes this is set in httpd.conf which may be /etc/httpd, or
/usr/local/httpd/conf or....somewhere else. Just change where it says
nobody. Or if you don't use 'nobody' elsewhere why not just include
'nobody' in the 'www' group?
Another way of having a completely different set of permissions on a
directory tree (bit dodgy this) is to export the directory via smb - since
you can specify the user permissions at the mount end!
