Right now, you put int he port's Makefile (it always was wrong to do so,
but so many are doing it...):

USE_OPENSSL=yes
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes

This summer, I'll change the default OpenSSL from base to security/openssl,
and at that point, I will remove all the WITH_OPENSSL_PORT for a check with
SSL_DEFAULT (that will get the port ignored if it the wrong SSL is used.)
It needs some work WRT GSSAPI to make sure a sane default is choosen if
building with ports openssl.

And then, in the near future, I'll remove support for base openssl and
gssapi in the ports tree, so that everything is always built with ports.
