Yes, one of those is probably what you want.  :-)  You might look at
the respective upstream Web pages (http://www.apache-ssl.org/,
http://www.modssl.org/), which mention some of the differences, but
they're essentially both different ways of doing the same thing.

My personal opinion is that the separate module (e.g., mod_ssl) is a
little cleaner than patching the Apache source to get SSL support.
I've also found mod_ssl to be very slightly more flexible in one
corner case (in particular, I can get either certificate or password
authentication under mod_ssl, but nobody in the real world actually
uses personal certificates).  My work actually uses apache-ssl, and it
works fine.
