You probably need more information from your security vendor (maybe a CVE id?)

I didn't see anything with a quick look at 
http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html

mod_ssl comes with apache2, apache 2.2.22 is the latest current verison of 
apache 2.2.x (MacPorts will eventually be moving to apache 2.4.x)

That's for Apache 1.3.41, so it's not useful to you anyway...

You should have a non-production machine that you can test/experiment with :)

Depending on what your security vendor says is the problem, you may be able to 
just change some apache/mod_ssl configuration parameters to pass the audit.

This tester may help you identify any issues if your security vendor doesn't 
have information for you: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html

They have a 'best practices' guide available as well: 
https://www.ssllabs.com/projects/best-practices/index.html

None of this is macports-specific, though :)
