Got it.  

For the record, on redhat 9, you need these packages (at least):

httpd-2.0.40-21.9
mod_ssl-2.0.40-21.9

Next, I edited /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and I changed lines 27, 90, and 94.  
In this example, I put the listener on 444 - which is to avoid another SSL 
web server (tomcat) which listens on the default HTTP SSL, port 443:

     23 #
     24 # When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the
     25 # standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port
     26 #
     27 Listen 444

     90 <VirtualHost _default_:444>
     91
     92 #  General setup for the virtual host
     93 DocumentRoot "/var/www/phpgw"
     94 ServerName my.server.com:444
     95 ServerAdmin you at your.address

Follow up question:  Not that it's terribly important, but I'm wondering if I 
have to run a port 80 httpd listener.  I'm not using it, I simply have an 
HTML redirect page that moves the users to the SSL port. 

Thanks!
