Dipped in Ubuntu
I don't have the money to be able to get a second ip, but I want to try load balancing on an apache server, and was wondering if its possible to do round robin on a port forwarding level?
My router is based on ubuntu, so I should have total freedom with the internals unlike consumer routers.

What you want is part of cloud computing. Google it and you will see its a bit of work to get up and running.
Better is a faster server.
Frothy Coffee!
You could install "nginx" in front of the as many apache servers as you have and it will not only take care of the load balancing (on a weighted round robin basis) but also cache unchanging static content to reduce load.
It's in the repos and configuration is very straight forward.
