Sure, just compile your "package" yourself, of course. Things like RPMs are
nice for bootstrapping or establishing things quickly, but hey: we're under
Unix and there you got the flexibility not just for fun. So, if you want a
non-standard installation, then do yourself a favor and compile it yourself.

It is possible to integrate mod_ssl as a DSO, but not into a plain Apache.
Your Apache at least has to be built with EAPI. Because for the cryptography
functionality Apache's standard API is to weak/incomplete. EAPI is the part
which adds this. And after your Apache has EAPI built in, you can
install/upgrade mod_ssl via the DSO mechanism like any other module, of
course. At least as long the EAPI doesn't change (which usually doesn't
happen very often). For details follow mod_ssl's and Apache's INSTALL
document, please.
