Yes that could work.

I found that Trac uses python's WSGI which is multithreaded by default,
so in fact it spawns a thread per FastCGI request. In this specific case
there is no need of a Fast CGI process manager ala mod_fastcgi.

The only FastCGI process manager I could find is the following Perl
modules:
http://search.cpan.org/~jurach/FCGI-ProcManager-0.17/ProcManager.pm
Maybe it could be used to build a complete process manager.
