You could use NFS, exportfs the apache log directory to 127.0.0.1 only,
make a directory somewhere accessible to the developers outside the root of the server
and mount the apache log directory to that dir READONLY.

Alternatively you can change the log directory location in http.conf to
somewhere the developers can access it but outside the root of the server. 
Since apache AND the developers must be able to access it this should be no problem.
