well, the easiest way to get apache up and running with ssl is to build
it from the apache13+modssl port... in /usr/ports/www.

Assuming you are using Name based virtual hosting....
the next step is to have edit your configs (the httpd.conf comes with a
sample SSL setup for a virtual host). 

<someone please pitch in here>

*I THINK* you need two sets entries, one for the virtual host with ssl,
and another for the virtual host without ssl. So, make sure you have
lines like

NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80
NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443

and virtual host configs similar to

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>
  ...configs for port 80 virtual host
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443>
  ....configs for ssl virtual host
      same as above + apache ssl directives like
  SSLEnable
  SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your/certificate
  ...other ssl directives you need
</VirtualHost>

then run
apachectl stop ; apachectl startssl && tail -f /path/to/httpd/error/log

and if there are no errors, then I guess you are in business.
