The issue with backporting modules like this one is that they depend on two packages that are in backports, but a user may very well not want to use backported versions of both.
The surest approach would be to get the source package and rebuild against the relevant apache2 -dev. If that doesn't appeal, if you install libmysqlclient16 from backports, then you can probably use the updated module package straight from Squeeze.
