If you're using mod_auth_mysql from http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/
you should be able to do it by setting AuthMySQLPwEncryption to md5.

AuthMySQLPwEncryption none | crypt | scrambled | md5 | aes | sha1
   The encryption type used for the passwords in AuthMySQLPasswordField:
     none: not encrypted (plain text)
     crypt: UNIX crypt() encryption
     scrambled: MySQL PASSWORD encryption
     md5: MD5 hashing
     aes: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption
     sha1: Secure Hash Algorihm (SHA1)
