Comment (by Otto42):

 For reference, everything I can find on the subject says that the best way
 is to set the 404 handler to point to WordPress's index.php, which makes
 sense.

 So, the simple way:
 server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php"

 But this is not something WordPress can really do automatically, and as
 JeremyVisser points out, it has drawbacks (can't run more than one copy of
 WordPress, real 404's point to WordPress's 404 handler, etc). So I think
 that this is outside the scope of something WordPress should handle. Use a
 standard webserver (aka Apache).
