This cannot work, because a plain vanilla Apache is too weak for SSL support.
You at least have to build Apache with EAPI as described in the mod_ssl
INSTALL document.
OTOH a core-dumps shouldn't happen for the plain Apache. Actually it should
complain that the module is of a different API version and this way
incompatible. So I don't know why it segfaults, but because you already have
to recompile your httpd because of the above reason I should ignore this for
now.

As said, you cannot use it because you need EAPI - the API extension for
Apache which is required for mod_ssl.
