The use case scenario is doable with Apache's vhost directives, and is
likely a much better way to accomplish this then trying to teach gitweb
about vhosting.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/mass.html
should give some hints on how this can be done, but the long and the
short is, single install of gitweb with the config file using, say %0,
to dynamically figure out which domain to work from.
