If you generate the pages offline there are a million ways to do that.  If you 
want the page included at each request then server-side includes are probably 
the easiest way, you do something like this:

    <!--#include file="/templates/header.html"-->

Take a look at http://www.apacheweek.com/features/ssi for the basics of SSI.

Like you noted this would require a decent scripting language to implement 
(perl, python, etc.).  It will be possible in PHP5, I think it would be 
difficult in PHP4.  Whether it's a good idea is another question ;-)
