Craig,
You can create the SSL certificate on any site. However, the task is easier if you create it on the sharepoint site. This is because other IIS metabase data will automatically be set for you.

I set the Default Zone to ssl, because I wanted the default access to be ssl. On another SharePoint Farm I have set zones as follows:
Default zone – http://computername.domain-name
Intranet zone – http://computername
Internet zone – https://internetname.domain-name

From an IIS perspective, I set up the SSL for the SharePoint site as I would any site. I added the SSL port mapping; generated a certificate signing request; I had my certificate signed by Go Daddy; and I installed the signed certificate.
