You should be able to use iptables to forward ssh traffic from your work machines to ssh while all other machines attaching to your home server on port 443 get the Apache server.

Try a rule like this:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 111.111.111.111 --dport 433 -j REDIRECT --to-port 22

Where 111.111.111.111 is your office computer's ip address.

That all assumes you're running Linux >= 2.4, which you should be by now. It's been out for almost a decade.
