It depends. For development if you use the built in web server you need to start it twice for http and https. This is in general a security measure. You do not want the same process to listen to two sockets else if something happens (like a memory leak) you may get locked out.
In deployment you should be using apache+mod_wsgi just download and run this: http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/scripts/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh It will setup everything for you behind a single apache server. I think this easier than rails actually.
