I was able to get an Orca to fire on an Apache by targeting it while
it was on the ground.  My opponent saw me coming and took off but the
orca maintained its target lock even after the apache took off and
tried to fire on it.  My opponent was wise to this trick though and
kept the apache moving around.  As I'm sure you know the aircraft are
all reluctant to fire on moving targets.  Eventually he just moved his
apache over to where he had some anti-aircraft stuff set up and I had
to break off the attack.

I don't it's possible for an apache to to the same to an orca.  Orca's
fire rockets which can be used against aircraft.  Apache's use the
same chaingun that guard towers use and we all know that guard towers
can't do squat against air support.

Have to target them while on the ground.  Your helis will follow until
they get a shot.  Since they move so much it is difficult and not
very effective.

Effective, no.  Distracting, yes.  I targeted my enemy's orca with an apache
when the orca was grounded.  He took off.  But the apache followed the orca
until it landed and resumed firing.  He took off again.  And again.  And
again.  He had no air defense set up - it was early in the game. 
Eventually, the orca got blown up, but while he was vainly trying to save
it, he wasn't doing anything else.

if the bad guys are attacking something of yours, select your helicopters and 
guard whatever they are attacking by pressing ctrl + alt then clicking on 
your unit under attack.
