If you are talking about cgi scripts run by apache you might want to
patch suexec to do this. There is nothgin in apache that would normally
set the requested privilidges.

we added following to apache-x-x-x/src/support/suexec.c to actually
enforce setting of resource limits. There is nothing in apache that would
normally set these up for you.

        At the top after the includes
        ---snipp---
        #include <stdarg.h>

        #ifdef __FreeBSD__
        # include <login_cap.h>
        #endif

        #include "suexec.h"
        ---snipp---

        Further to the bottom shortly before setting the euid
        ---snipp---
        #ifdef __FreeBSD__
            /*
             * set resource limits from /etc/login.conf
             * allows one to limit cpu and memory consumption by cgi's
             */
            setclasscontext( "apache-suexec", LOGIN_SETRESOURCES|LOGIN_SETPRIORITY );
        #endif

            /*
             * setuid() to the target user. Error out on fail.
             */
            if ((setuid(uid)) != 0) {
                log_err("emerg: failed to setuid (%ld: %s)\n", uid, cmd);
                exit(110);
            }
        ---snipp---

Greetings
Christian
