It is not currently possible, although I'm sure that ASP.Net ISAPIs for
other web servers are being developed as we speak. ASP.Net is an ISPAI
(Intenet Server Application Programming Interface), which means that it is a
DLL that interacts with the web server. For any web server other than IIS,
an ISAPI would have to be developed that would run ASP.Net on that web
server.

The Mono project http://www.go-mono.org/ has some modules for Apache. I
don't know how well they work and you have to use the mono framework but it
is an option if you absolutely must use another server. They claim that most
ASP.NET applications will run flawlessly. Also a company by the name of
Covalent developed an ASP.NET module for Apache at one point but I believe
that it is no longer being sold.
