Why not just install the ports version:

openssl version -a 
OpenSSL 1.0.0a 1 Jun 2010
built on: Sun Jun  6 12:19:12 EDT 2010
platform: BSD-x86_64
options:  bn(64,64) rc4(8x,int) des(idx,cisc,16,int) idea(int) blowfish(idx) 
compiler: cc -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DZLIB_SHARED -DZLIB -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIOS -O3 -DMD32_REG_T=int -Wall -O2 -pipe -march=athlon64 -fno-strict-aliasing -DOPENSSL_IA32_SSE2 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DAES_ASM -DWHIRLPOOL_ASM
OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/local/openssl"

You would need to add this to the "/etc/make.conf" file first I believe:

	WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes
