Virtual Servers can do Port Translation - enabled by default I think. So, if your VS is listening on port X and the pool member is configured for port Y then the LTM will translate the communication. We do this on a few of our VSs.

 

 

But, specifically in your case, the traffic would still be port 80 from the client to the LTM, rather than https so I'm not sure if this would meet your needs.

 

 

HTTP profile + iRule would seem the most straight forward.
