Yes, you can do it without any issue.

You simply need your Apache to do the authentication part (since gitolite is only an authorization layer), and call gitolite-shell instead of git-http-backend, with REMOTE_USER set by Apache (and used by gitolite-shell).

See a detailed example in "Git with Ldap on Ubuntu with Apache".

The main part of the httpd.conf being:

SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT @H@/repositories
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
SetEnv GITOLITE_HTTP_HOME @H@
ScriptAlias /hgit/ @H@/sbin/gitolite-shell/
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_BACKEND "@H@/usr/local/apps/git/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend"
<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
  SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</FilesMatch>
<Location /hgit>
    SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
    Options ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    #AllowOverride All
    order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AuthName "LDAP authentication for Smart HTTP Git repositories"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthBasicProvider myldap companyldap
    AuthzLDAPAuthoritative Off
    Require valid-user
    AddHandler cgi-script cgi
</Location>
