FYI, I have tested this extensively, from several different directions, and
I have been unable to reproduce the problems you describe here. Thus, I
would tend to believe that it is a problem for you locally.

I would suggest that you try the following:

pkg_delete -f openssl*
portmaster -p /usr/ports/security/openssl-stable

The first will obviously delete anything you've got locally, and the second
will build (and hopefully install) the port, and also update your dependency
tracking.

Please let me know if that works for you.
