Depending on which version of Apache you're trying to build depends on the 
different modules you'll need to add in.

Apache 2 has native ssl included so no mod needed.  If you want php support in 
your apache, then simply install the /usr/ports/www/mod_php(4_5) port.  
DONE.. here is an excerpt from a google search:

"I recommend lang/php4

When you install it should come up with a menu allowing you to choose your
options (GD support, CLI, etc).  After it is done, it will tell you what to
add to your httpd.conf file to get .php files working (apache restart
required).  To test, make a file like:

<?php
phpinfo()
?> "


"Just a quick note.

/usr/ports/lang/php4 also includes command line interface beside the
apache module. if you only need mod_php, you can cd to
/usr/ports/www/mod_php4 instead/"
