Is there a way to configure Apache 2 to use SSL on virtual hosts using
the same IP and port (443)?

I am looking for a way to ensure that data passed between server and
client is encrypted. The authenticity of the server is not that
important.

No, unless you always present the same certificate and the user clicks
to accept mismatching certifcates.  This is a wart in the
specification of HTTPS, which requires certificate exchange before the
session starts (i.e. before the Host: header is seen).

If someone can spoof the server, encryption doesn't do you much good.
