I think the recommended way is to follow the example of all the others 
modules and create a symlink from mods-enabled to mods-available, if 
there isn't one already. So:

# cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
# ln -s ../mods-available/ssl.conf
# ln -s ../mods-available/ssl.load

Then you need to use the SSL module in a site configuration. There should 
be an "example" setup in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl.conf but first 
you need to symlink to it from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. So:

# cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
# ln -s ../sites-available/ssl.conf

And restart apache:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

That should be about it. However, considering that I spent days 
configuring the damn virtual host configuration to get both SSL and a 
non-SSL working at the same time, you probably need to do some tweeking.
