Presumably by tweaking the string inside Apache that self-reports the platform.
In 1995-1996, I ran a webserver on my Amiga, but there's plenty of
memory, a network interface, a decent C environment, etc., available
to AmigaDOS. It's not impossible to run a webserver on a C-64 (it's
been done several times already), but I'd say that you aren't likely
to be running _Apache_ on an 8-bit 1980s micro, even if you do slap on
a couple megs of peripheral RAM and an Ethernet interface (or use
SLIP/PPP).
