Recent versions of mod_ssl compiled for HPUX require an equivalent to Linux's /dev/random. You can get this by downloading and installing an Entropy Gathering Daemon (egd), which can be found at: http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/ I ran into the same problem last month upgrading my team's website, until trawling through various mailing list archives pointed me to egd.
