"openssl ecparam -list_curves" should do it.

With OpenSSL-1.0.2 and later, it is possible to use the
SSLOpenSSLConfCmd directive (see [1], eg. "SSLOpenSSLConfCmd Curves
P-521:P-384:...").

Since you use an earlier version, I think you can only change the
default curve by appending ecparams to the server's SSLCertificateFile
(see [2]).
