Try
apache_flags="-DSSL"
instead.

You are right, the startup scripts call httpd directly. If you look at the
apachectl script you will see that the 'startssl' command does the
following:
startssl|sslstart|start-SSL)
if [ $RUNNING -eq 1 ]; then
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd (pid $PID) already running"
continue
fi
if $HTTPD -DSSL; then
echo "$0 $ARG: httpd started"
So, if you do what I said above, your web server will start up with ssl
support.
