According to the configuration of the mime module the default apache2 configuration is already using /etc/mime.types:
# # TypesConfig points to the file containing the list of mappings from # filename extension to MIME-type. # TypesConfig /etc/mime.types
The mime-support handles /etc/mime.types. So apache2 is already using the system mime type database.
