Yes.

Generally you should do things via the Apache config not .htaccess, if
you can (i.e. if it isn't just a shared hosting account).

But rather than rename the URL on the fly, you'd just tell Apache to use
the PHP interpreter for handling the ".html" files.

i.e. Add the extension to the bits that says...

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

Of course doing this for all html files, on all sites, when only one
page has PHP would be inefficent. One could also just invoke PHP for
this one file. Renaming the page ".php" is probably simplest ;)
