I've got both RT1 and RT2 running on the same box without virtual hosts.
Here is what I used in the httpd.conf file for Apache.
 
    Alias /rt2/ "/opt/rt2/WebRT/html/"

    <Location /rt2>
     PerlRequire /opt/rt2/bin/webmux.pl
     SetHandler perl-script
     PerlHandler RT::Mason
    </Location>

You also have to pay close attention to your config.pm file settings in
regards to the location of the web UI:

    #If you're putting the web ui somewhere other than at / on a server
    $WebPath = "/rt2";

    #Scheme, server and port for constructing urls to webrt

    $WebBaseURL = "http://server.name";

    $WebURL = $WebBaseURL . $WebPath. "/";

This works for RedHat running Apache - I can't vouch for any other setups.

Good luck!
