I think one solution could be using a combination of PHP as apache module or through FastCGI and use mod_proxy apache module to do some reverse proxy to access your administration app running with gunicorn
You can have a setup like :
- Front HTTP Server apache on port 80 : www.host.com:80
- Backend HTTP Server gunicorn on another port : other.host.com:8080 or localhost:8080 publicly accessed with mod_proxy and url like www.host.com/admin/
- Media HTTP Server : media.host.com, if it has to be on the same system you can use mod_proxy and run the NGINX server on another TCP port.
Note that you should not be able to get the best performance with the NGINX as a media server hidden behind apache with mod_proxy.
This part of setup relies upon the possibility of having more than one public IP adress on this slice.

I found this question and almost went down the path of using Green Unicorn myself. Just a note that uWSGI seems to give significantly better performance than Green Unicorn, see a set of benchmarks here.
Linode has a great howto for configuring uWSGI with Nginx on Ubuntu (it works fine on Debian too).
I’m now using this setup and very happy with it so far.

For the PHP part consider to install any PHP accelerator like eAccelerator or any other bytecode cache.
This is a more general article but could also be interessting for you.
For the Django part I have no idea / experience.

I’ve been trying to run django behind nginx with WSGI module. It runs OK and pretty fast.
You’ll have to compile your own nginx, but it’s really painless.
