| No, it's a server wide setting. Turn "ServerTokens" to off and the server software will not be sent along in the headers. 
 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#servertokens
 
 In reality, there is no security through obscurity, only a incorrect sense of security. I do not hide mine, there's no need to since I keep Apache up to date.
