I haven't done anything with this myself, but this looks like a good link:

It assumes that you're going to be generating your own self-signed cert, so the procedure will need to be modified if you're going to use a "real" certificate.

Also, note the rather nasty "gotcha" that can occur if you have Apache set to  start automatically (Apache will ask you to enter the passphrase for the server key, but  since the system is in GUI mode, you'll never see the prompt. The whole boot sequence will hang. sad). Looks like you have to start Apache manually if you're doing SSL.
