As Viktor previously stated, openssl has the NULL ciphers built in by default.  
Your reply to Rich seemed to confirm that your version of openssl does include 
them:

You further asked:

To which I responded "No".  If mod_ssl were passing the SSLCipherSuite value 
straight through to openssl, the answer would have been yes.  Unfortunately for 
you, mod_ssl manipulates the value of SSLCipherSuite to prevent NULL and export 
ciphers from being used.  You need to rebuild Apache without that manipulation 
to use any NULL ciphers.
