 Look into the SSLPassPhraseDialog Directive.

 It's not exactly 'secure' but basically you put your Pass-Phrase into a
file that is fairly restricted, and use the exec option to have apache
automagically retrieve the pass-phrase from the file upon boot-up.

 I tried to find the original article I read on this but can't locate it
at the moment. I will see if I can find it later when I get home and
forward it to you.
