As far as I can tell the patch required to mod_ssl is fairly simple and it
looks like it will be committed to upstream soon:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52210

You could ask the maintainer of the httpd package what he thinks about
adding this patch to the package so the modified mod_ssl is no longer required.
