Sure. Why not? (Assuming apache v1.3)

Edit httpd.conf
Define a "default server" location just as you would for a single IP
address web server.

Many distros include comments in this file. Check it out.

Another place to look, is at your apache htdocs. For virt hosts:
htdocs/manual/vhosts/index.html

Here is a brief summary:

After you have a server name (for example with an IP address)
and specify a location for default connections with Document root etc...

then you can create the cirtual host containers with settings specific to
the virtual hosts:

#Assuming your IP address is 10.0.0.1 for example: 
<VirtualHost your.ip.address.forexample>
#  ServerName www.freshandsassy.org
  ServerAlias freshandsassy.org www.freshandsassy.org 
  ServerAdmin cornholio@bigdomain.com
  DocumentRoot /www1/index.html
  CustomLog logs/freshandfancy.combined_log full
  CustomLog logs/freshandfancy-access_log combined
  ErrorLog logs/freshandfancy-error_log
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /www1.cgi-bin/
  Alias /icons/ /usr/share/apache/icons/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1>
#  ServerName www.oldandtired.org
  ServerAlias oldandtired.com www.oldandtired.org 
  ServerAdmin cornholio@bigdomain.com
  DocumentRoot /www1/index.html
  CustomLog logs/oldandtired.combined_log full
  CustomLog logs/oldandtired-access_log combined
  ErrorLog logs/oldandtired-error_log
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /www1.cgi-bin/
  Alias /icons/ /usr/share/apache/icons/
</VirtualHost>

#Assuming you have defined what is in a "full" and  "combined" log.

The Apache html docs on this are the most authoritative on this.
