Hmm, actually I think in this case you would have to use mod_rewrite,
since I don't think you can do any kind of if thing in a .htacces file.

Something *like* this:

> <Directory "/svr/www/htdocs/panel">
>         RewriteEngine on
>         Options +FollowSymLinks
>         Order allow,deny
>         Allow from all
>         RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
>         RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
> </Directory>

But neater than using ServerPort is to use the $HTTPS env var should do
the trick...
