First, you _cannot_ use a newer mod_ssl version with an older Apache version,
of course. Because mod_ssl needs to enhance Apache (the EAPI) and to make this
enhancement possible the Apache version has to exactly match. That's why the
tarball for mod_ssl has both versions (the mod_ssl and the Apache version) in
the filename.
Second, you can upgrade an installation to newer Apache+mod_ssl versions, yes.
Here you don't have to _UN_install something. You can directly reinstall
Apache+mod_ssl+OpenSSL from scratch into the same installation area as before.
The Apache installation procedure does preserve your existing configuration
files. You then perhaps just have to merge your old config files with the new
default config files (in case you want to use newer features, etc.).
