Under a plain Apache install, the answer is no. If the directory is in an 'alias' and the Apache user has permissions to access that directory, then yes. Also, if Apache is running 'suexec' and that directory belongs to the user the site belongs so that they have permissions to access, then yes also. That is common under 'per user' sites where each user has a web site in their own user space.
