The SSL passphrase has been added for the protection of the cert by whoever
created the cert for you.
You could write an expect script to automate the process but would have to
have the SSL cert password written in your script in plain text (unless
anyone can suggest some safe way to encrypt the password and still pass it
to the apache startup process???)
Try a search on 'expect' and script or tcl
