It's pretty straightforward:

- add a new site using the control panel
- specify "secure" as the host name
- specify "domain.tld" as the domain name
- if you like, add "www.secure.domain.tld" as a web server alias, but this 
URL will always bounce to "http://secure.domain.tld";

ta-da

don't forget you can only have one SSL cert per IP address, so you may need 
to get another IP for this site if you've already created a self-signed 
certificate for your main site (and control panel)... this is also 
specified when adding a add site or editing site settings
