In Tomcat 4.1.x you can do this, because it supports the ability to define
a "context configuration file" that contains just the <Context> element
(and it's nested content), which can be dynamically deployed along with
your WAR. You could nest your custom <Realm> element inside this
<Context> element, and it would only apply to this webapp. See the docs
on the manager webapp for more info.
Tomcat 4.0.x doesn't have any way to do this.

Not without modifying Tomcat sources.
