No, you don't generate new keys (that would break your cert) but you
can remove the pasphrase from the key. Make sure only root can read
the key. This will even give you better security than relying on a
script to provide a password.
See the docs here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html#removepassphrase
