Your right about name-based virtual-hosts.. You can't have more than one
SSL VH per IP/port. see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modssl&m=98576871506980&w=2 fro
reasons why.

To set up an SSL VH, its just the same as a normal VH - but switch on
port 443, e.g.

Listen servername:443
<Virtualhost servername:443>
  DocuumentRoot <ssl-content-path>
  ... SSL directives

</VirtualHost>

You can still have HTTP name-based VHs... as well.

To make certs, etc, see
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC29

- summary of commands (for a no-pass-phrase cert).

# openssl genrsa -des3 -out www.kiwi.com.key 1024
# openssl rsa -in www.kiwi.com.key -out banana
# mv banana www.kiwi.com.key
# openssl req -new -key www.kiwi.com.key -out www.kiwi.com.csr
# ./sign.sh www.kiwi.com.csr
