I think the other applications you mention are PHP, while Koha is
Perl, so even any Perl module installations/upgrades/changes needed
shouldn't disturb those.

As long as you are currently using Apache VirtualHosts, have a spare
hostname or some spare ports available, and can make koha its own
mysql database, I think it should be fine.  Koha's installer writes a
koha-httpd.conf that you Include into your main conf file. It is set
for running on its own VirtualHost, though.

Hope that helps,
