You have to compile in the mod_frontpage manuallay after having built 
apache+mod_ssl and add -DEAPI to CFLAGS IIRC.

MS (RtR software) have decided in their infinite wisdom to add members to the
request record to support frontpage. This makes your apache totally incompatible
with any module not compiled at the same time as apache_fp (or as a DSO with 
apxs later). 

Have a look at the Improved mod_frontpage Homepage 
http://home.edo.uni-dortmund.de/~chripo/

For a mod_frontpage that seems more willing to cooperate with the rest of
the world. This module also refuses to run if your file permissions are set
in an insecure way i.e. as they are after you've installed the frontpage
tarball.

Microsoft have a native freebsd compiled fp tarball available now so there 
should be no reason to use the bsdi one any more. 

Note I haven't tested the above very much I'm instead considering dumping
all our support for frontpage, program they never seem to get right anyway.
