If you can put together an installation package which installs apache, php 
and then your code into this software then yes, this is possible.

I once setup (about 10 years ago) an apache instalation for windows which 
could run directly of a CD, the 'website' used a number of perl scripts, 
which ran using a perl interpretor on the CD. These days you might do 
better to use a memory stick, I had to spend a lot of time tweaking 
configs so that anything which needed to write files went to the temp 
space.

Another alternative would be a complete pre-configured server image which 
could be run using vmware player on the host computer.
