If you use wildcard DNS or otherwise map all the domain names properly, 
then of course mod_vhost_alias can use them.  Have you read the 
documentation?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html

For example, if you have DNS mappings for user1.example.com, 
user2.example.com, etc, then use:
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/%1/web/
