Vilius, thank you, you were correct...I did not understand what you were 
telling me until I enabled trace6 debug logging for Apache and saw what 
was happening...

The rewrite would first come up with /usr/share/horde/rampage.php based 
on the URL DocumentRoot (which is correct) BUT then it added the Rewrite 
base, /horde, and tried to find /usr/share/horde/horde/rampage.php which 
of course does not exist.

I removed the RewriteBase and Alias directives and everything works now.

So here are the final working configs (Debian/Apache 2.4/PHP 
5.6/php5-fpm) using the .htaccess for config instead of the 
php-horde.conf file above in case it will help anyone...

Some caveats:
- I have the apache compatibility module enabled so the .htaccess file 
with the "allow from all" directive will work.
- I also had to set AllowOverride All for the /usr/share/horde/ dir in 
Apache so the .htaccess file would be enabled.
- the configs below do not have the rewrites needed for ActiveSync that 
were discussed here http://wiki.horde.org/ActiveSync
- As Vilius says, your RewriteBase depends on your base URL (Apache 
DocumentRoot).  In my case my DocumentRoot is complete and I do not need 
a RewriteBase at all.

=== /usr/share/horde/.htaccess ===
# IMPORTANT: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE!
# It will be overwritten with any future upgrade.

allow from all

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteRule .* - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
     RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  !-d
     RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  !-f
     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ rampage.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

=== /etc/apache2/sites-available/z.anydomain.anymail.com.conf ===
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName mail.fanmail.com
   DirectoryIndex index.php
   DocumentRoot /usr/share/horde/
