Since a virtual host in Tomcat requires a Host element in server.xml, that means a restart. If you use the ApacheConfig option for JK, adding the new Host is picked up automatically , and the corresponding Apache config directives are generated. Then a "/path/to/apache/bin/apachectl graceful" will pick those up without effecting other requests.
How do you envision dynamic virtual hosts working? I think it's a huge issue, not only from a usage POV, but from a design/architecture POV. I doubt doing this is trivial, but I'm no developer so maybe it is. In any case, I'm sure tomcat-dev would have better answers, suggestions or guidance.
