That is not quite true. As soon as you install openssl, openssl-devel,
or libressl or libressl-devel, the ports framework will use it whenever
you build something that needs SSL from the ports tree.


If you truly want to have libressl but do not want to use it for
building ports, you will need to install it in a separate PREFIX.
