Wrap your generic ssl config stuff in an <ifmodule mod_ssl.c>. Stuff 
like session cache, mutex, seeds, passphrase dialog, etc. Then create a 
virtualhost for ssl. You can run it on the same IP you use for the main 
server. Something like:

<Virtualhost your.ip.addy:443>
# normal vhost type stuff, if you want it, read the docs.
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile    /path/to/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/ssl.key/server.key
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
</VirtualHost>

Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction. Read apache's docs, 
they're pretty good.
