Paul,
This is roughly the same setup we have with our servers here. We have
'dev-sites' set up running on ports (+5 or +10) from the main Zserver and
have Apache ReWriteRules pointing to the same static content. When we're
ready to make large changes, we copy the Data.fs over to the 'production'
site.

This does mean that your site can't do any ZODB updates of course.
