Unless the private key that is inside the PFX is also protected by a password you wouldn't need to put in a Passphrase in the Server SSL profile.

Personally, I have never encountered an encrypted private key and just providing the password while importing the PFX file was sufficient. 

Did you create the CSR your self? If so: did you put a password while generating the private key? If yes: then you'll need that Passphrase on the Server SSL Profile, otherwise no, you don't need to provide a password for the private key.
