I doubt it.

FastCGI isn't "traditional" for Catalyst - it's what people switched to
because mod_perl almost never has a better memory/performance profile.

Especially since most of the mod_perl cleverness relies on interpreter
cloning, which unshares a huge amount of stuff that -can- be shared across
a fork.
