Not too hard, especially "helped" by the ports collection.

Ok, these are the steps i followed :

* Installation of the "imap-uw" port
====================================
%su -
# portinstall -R -m '-DWITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT' imap-uw
# pkgdb -F
# grep -i imap /etc/inetd.conf
imap4   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/libexec/imapd      imapd
imaps   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/libexec/imapd      imapd
# grep -i inetd /etc/rc.conf
inetd_enable="YES"
inetd_flags="-wW -l -R 1024"

* Installation of the "apache+mod_ssl-1.3.27+2.8.14" port
=========================================================
%su -
# portinstall -R apache+mod_ssl-1.3.27+2.8.14
# pkgdb -F
/* Modify the configuration file:
   /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf */
# cat /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf
