Right, and I noticed what I had done the moment I hit
the send button. So was forced to send another reply
with the *intended* suggestion. :/

SSLLIB_DESC=	OpenSSL support

SSL_LIB_DEPENDS=	libssl.so:security/openssl
SSLLIB_CONFIGURE_WITH=	ssllib

or perhaps more simply

LIB_DEPENDS=	libssl.so:security/openssl

in an appropriate location for an SSL option,
assuming it's even optional.
