Apache-1.3 does not have SSL built-in.  The port www/apache13-ssl is 
using "Ben Laurie's SSL", whereas mod_ssl is by Ralf Engelschall.  See:

Yes, apache2 has support for SSL built-in, and will enable SSL if the 
system it is built on has it available (which is true for all recent 
FreeBSD versions).
