You should install apache+mod_ssl from the ports, then add mod_php3 or 4 (you
can configure that for whatever db you're using during the make. Make sure on
apache you do a seperate "make" "make certificate" and "make install. There's
a readme at the end of make that will help you set up your certs. I've
installed this combination on several machines (both 4-STABLE and
5.0-CURRENT) and had no problems with any of them.
