probably.  I've oulined this in more detail in the install howto.

yes, without any apache tricks.  sitemgr transparently logs into phpgroupware 
as the
anon user you setup, so if you give that user read access to phpWH then you can 
have
the sitemget-site call up any file there, so long as you DO pass the session ID 
via
cookies (configable in setup/config step2).  One side effect, which I like, is 
that
no one can deep link to files used this way unless they first bring up the site 
so
the login happens.

`ln -s source target`, make a filesystem link to bring your designated phpWH 
dir to
the public.  This way you could even ftp files to it too through your sites 
standard
ftp.
