Of course I read your post.  Why when there are misunderstandings do 
people always assume it's the listener's fault and not their own?

Are you saying you are not *able* to remove the old Apache or not 
*willing* to?  If you are not *willing* to, then I cannot help without 
more information on why.  If you are saying you're not *able* to, I 
think you're mistaken, or there is more information that you haven't 
shared yet.

"make deinstall" will remove a port regardless of any dependencies.  I 
assume you're talking about replacing the old apache with the exact same 
version, just with mod_ssl compiled in.  In that case you still do what 
I mentioned earlier:
   1) build the port w/ mod_ssl
   2) make deinstall reinstall
   3) pkgdb -Ff (to tell the port system that prior dependencies should 
now point to the mod_ssl'd apache)

I'm happy to help if you want, I just need more information to be effective.
