Ok, thanks to my colleague Kaspar Brand, we found a fix for this. The 
problem is that mod_shib was only compile for i386 and not as a 
universal binary.

Since Apache (lipo -info  /usr/sbin/httpd ->  ppc7400 ppc64 i386 x86_64) 
for some reason always starts in 64bit mode, this causes problems with 
the 32bit mod_shib module.

Removing the 64bit part of httpd with:
lipo /usr/sbin/httpd -remove  x86_64 -output /usr/sbin/httpd.new

makes Apache and Shib  start fine (with some CoreFoundation erros that 
probably can be ignored).

Nevertheless, it would of course be great to have mod_shib be compiled 
as universal binary.
