Just --with-ssl or --with-open-ssl, I think.  And then `make update`.

If you want to only allow SSL connections I think you have to put innd on
a different port (433 is usual) and spawn nnrpd -S out of xinetd (or using
nnrpd daemon mode).  Alternatively you can use the nntps port (563) for
SSL nntp connections, similarly with xinetd or daemon mode.

You might also might want to look at the nnrpd-ssl and nnrpd-readers
patches from http://www.litech.org/~jeff/inn-diffs/ to give you more
flexibility.
