Are there any open source URL shortening software projects out there? Perhaps something that works in conjunction with Apache?

A lot of them popped up when I did a search on Github:

Does this Count? http://code.google.com/p/urly/

or this http://yourls.org/

You could do it yourself easily enough with a database. Just store each long url in the database as a key and the short one as a value. You could easily create a short one with an auto-increment field in your table. Your urls would look like this:

http://mysite.com/12345

In your server side programming language of choice, just do a look up into the table, and then do a redirect.

I use http://yourls.org/ in my shortener, very powerful and plugin enabled. You can also easily create your own pages with stats and stuff.

Here's mine:
