I'm going to go ahead and top-post on this (sorry). There has to be a limited number of computers these requests are coming from since the requests are coming over TCP. I'd write a quick script to grab the ip addresses and block them at the firewall level. Maybe something like this:

tail -f /var/log/apache/access_log|grep AppleWebKit|cut '-d ' -f 1|xargs /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -j DROP -s

I haven't tested it (don't have a problem on my current server), but it _should_ follow the Apache requests, grab the IP addresses of users with a UserAgent of AppleWebKit and drop all TCP packets from the IP address until you reset your firewall.
