Not that easy.  Here's one suggestion:

Alias /admin/ /path/to/document/root/

<Location /admin/>
Options +Indexes
DirectoryIndex notarealfile.html
require group admin
</Location>

Then your admin group can get a directory listing for
http://example.com/dir/ if they access http://example.com/admin/dir/
