Interesting idea. It would still be going through your computer though, I'm fairly sure. The file would be pulled down from Gmail to your computer, then sent back out to the person requesting the file.
Gmail Drive basically works by adding a network drive, so I'm not sure if Apache could handle that... however, if you were to get GmailFS to work on Linux (I've never managed to, but I've never tried too hard), it would appear to be part of the normal file system, so it should work fine.
