cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
make config
make install clean

Then you can grab http://www.openssl.org/contrib/ssl.ca-0.1.tar.gz and use
it to make certificates. The certificates will be specified in
/usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-ssl.conf under SSLCertificateFile,
SSLCertificateKeyFile and SSLCACertificatePath.
Once done, you just have to uncomment the relevant line under "Supplemental
Configuration" section of httpd.conf
More like it. The rest you have to read about Apache.
