The basic idea is that you define a port-based virtual host to serve the SSL content. 
This looks something like:

Listen 443
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:443>
  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile path/to/cert
  SSLCertificateKeyFile path/to/key
  DocumentRoot path/to/ssl/dir
  ...
</VirtualHost>

Now when you hit https://yourserver/ you will get this VH on port 443 via an SSL 
channel.
