You should be able to just edit build-tree/apache_1.3.19/src/support/suexec.h 
and hard-code in the values you like.

The real solution (which I have already suggested to the Apache maintainer)  
is to have the apache build process generate an suexec-src package.  The 
suexec-src package would have a script to ask you a series of questions and 
generate a Debian package for the compiled suexec program.

I've been meaning to submit an appropriate patch to the maintainer.
