Worth noting that you need to disable DocumentIndex as well, or it
translates host.name/ to host.name/index.html everywhere.

I don't see a problem here - you disable DocumentRoot and
DocumentIndex at the global level, and enable them for Locations,
ie:

<VirtualHost host.with.pcgi>
ServerName     host.with.pcgi2
# various modpcgi2 settings...
SetHandler pcgi-handler
PCGI_ROOT /
PCGI_SetEnv SiteRootPATH /
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost host.without.pcgi>
DocumentRoot    /home/httpd/etc/etc/etc
DocumentIndex index.html
# etc
</VirtualHost>

If you want to have various locations do different things, set them up 
to do it, ie;

To use static docs in an otherwise mod_pcgi2 site:
Alias /static /my/static/docs
<Location /static>
SetHandler default-handler
</Location>
