You could do that, but not in a simple way which is also secure and easy. PHP and Apache will never allow you to execute system commands out of the box, not to mention root stuff!

So you will need to study that, create some wrapper scripts which will be able to receive parameters from PHP (to know what to do, get the username and password of the new user, etc...) elevate their privileges (hint: look at sudo or SUID), and then run your command...
