Hmm:

$ apt-cache depends  apache2-mpm-worker
apache2-mpm-worker
  Depends: libapr0
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libdb4.2
  Depends: libexpat1
  Depends: libldap2
  Depends: libpcre3
  Depends: libssl0.9.7
  Depends: zlib1g
  Depends: apache2-common  <-----------------
  Conflicts: apache2-mpm-prefork
  Conflicts: apache2-mpm-perchild
  Replaces: apache2-mpm-threadpool

$  dpkg -L apache2-common | grep var\/run
/var/run
/var/run/apache2

So where is the problem? Did you manage to not install apache2-common?
