Hi Raj I believe that I have located the issue - in addition to mod_proxy, mod_proxy_ajp, and mod_rewrite I also needed to a2enmod ssl. Restarting Apache then picked up the <VirtualHost *:443> config. Offcourse as Murphy's would have it, my next issue is the pass phrase to the SSL key - which is already generated and which I will only be able to get tomorrow since today is a public holiday in ZA.
Thanks for your help.

Are you sure port 8009 is enabled in ofbiz-container.xml?
