Ben,

Sorry about the confusion, make.conf is the global register that all 
ports look to for build information.

By default ports requiring dependancies will build these dependancies 
according to their individual make file (normally ports.)

(man make.conf) will show you more in depth about what the make.conf is 
file and many of the global registers that can be used.

php5-openssl is just a shared extension, how did you install Apache with 
OpenSSL?  Port or Base?

How are you installing OpenOffice 2 to where it requires OpenSSL, I do 
not see OpenSSL as a dependancy?

Thanks,

Russell
