I'm sure there is nothing you can do with Apache
configuration to solve this.

Try something with:
awk 'print --select key fields here--' $1 \
| sort \
| uniq --count \
| awk '--some script to transpose results--'

Another possibility is to prepend every page with a
small php script that registers the hit in a database.

By the way,
cat $FILE | grep "2008:$HOUR"
is useless, you can directly grep the file:
grep "2008:$HOUR" $FILE
