Okay, so:

1. Things just don't seem to work if you compile without SSLv2
2. You don't actually need it, so it's disabled everywhere

That's fine. It would be good to find out *why* SSLv2 support is
required for everything to build/run properly, but it's not an
anormous concern just to have it in the binary.

Hmm. I'm not familiar enough with the httpd build process to know what
the exact implications of using -R are.

If -R is supposed to work, then by all means use -R. Just be aware
that if you need to upgrade OpenSSL, you either need to use a
version-independent installation path (e.g. /usr/local/openssl/current
- -- I'd recommend a symlink for this purpose), or you'll need to
recompile httpd (mod_ssl, really).

Someone else will have to comment on why -R might not be having the
intended effect.

Precisely.
