Then it's not really mysterious? You have a very probable cause.

No, it has not. The OpenSSL from ports should by now be in exactly
that version: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/openssl/
While the system's OpenSSL will be something like 0.9.8m~
whoa.. I guessed it right:
http://ftp2.at.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7.2-release/security/

This is not really relevant..

Yup.. OpenSSL from Ports.. 1.0.0c...

Is dns1 a hint on the role of that machine?
If so, why are you running an httpd with Subversion on a DNS server?!

This sounds bad. Do you have a /dev/urandom or any other PRNG on your
system? Do you have something configured in httpd.conf...?

Why are you loading every single one module in existence?
See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/
for a reference of which modules you need and which you can skip.

See: for a minimal config that works.

Okay..
I don't see a single one line in your config that is SSL related.
