You mean, you want a decrypted key?
<prompt># openssl rsa -in encrypted.key -out decrypted.key
[you get a password prompt here]
<prompt># chown root:wheel decrypted.key
<prompt># chmod 0400 decrypted.key
(apache|ssl).conf file:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/decrypted.key
You should read the apache-ssl FAQ.

In this case the web server executable is httpd. You can start it
directly and with a wrapper script, like apachectl or (if you have
installed apache with the ports/packages system) with
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd.sh (IIRC).

If you use the decrypted version of the key, then you'll not be prompted
again at apache startup.
