Wrong. You are getting confused about servers and clients - mod_ssl is what
runs on the server. The OP is talking about the client end of an SSL
connection. I had a quick look at the PHP docs and it doesn't tell you the
option for client SSL. Trying with a copy of 5.0.4 I've got
handy, ./configure --help suggests:

--with-openssl[=DIR] Include OpenSSL support (requires OpenSSL >= 0.9.6)

YMMV. Alternatively, as a quick hack, set up a stunnel connection.
