If you are running Apache2, mod_ssl is probably there.  You can run 
httpd -l
in your apache bin dir for a list of compiled in modules.

The ssl.conf file is an include that gets read and added into the 
httpd.conf file if apache is started with SSL enabled.  It contains
all the setting that are only of use to the SSL server, the most 
important ones being the location of the server certificate and key.

http://www.modssl.org/ is a good place to read up on this.
