There is actually a PHP webdav server implementation out there (its in PEAR), 
but it requires PHP > 4.3.0 or a patch.  This means it will probably be a 
while before it makes it into the phpgroupware API.

You can do this though with the vfs_dav webdav client - just make a DAV 
repository with Apache mod_dav and put your documents there, and access them 
with vfs_dav and webfolders.  The added bonus is that Apache is a much better 
WebDAV server than I could ever write.

The only problem there is with ACL - I haven't figured out yet how to solve 
it.  Currently if your ACL-default is not "grant", vfs will try to write an 
.htaccess file into your home directory limiting access to you (or in the 
case of a group directory, your group).  If you setup Apache to authenticate 
users against whatever PHPGroupware is authenticating against this will 
provide you with a minimal "acl" (note the quotes :); there are instructions 
in phpgwapi/doc/vfs/vfs_dav on how to do this.
