FreeBSD Port: www/apache24 + LibreSSL 2.7.2 = Undefined symbol "OPENSSL_malloc_init" error, fail

Note: Filed at https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62346

Apache24 seems to have some issues with LibreSSL 2.7+  that are not resolved by the patch.  On my machine, at least, I get:

Apache24 will not start:
httpd: Syntax error on line 130 of /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf: Cannot load libexec/apache24/mod_ssl.so into server: /usr/local/libexec/apache24/mod_ssl.so: Undefined symbol "OPENSSL_malloc_init"

The following innocuous seeming error reported during the build seems relevant

--- mod_ssl.slo ---
mod_ssl.c:404:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'OPENSSL_malloc_init' is invalid in C99 [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    OPENSSL_malloc_init();

    /* We must register the library in full, to ensure our configuration
     * code can successfully test the SSL environment.

    (void)CRYPTO_malloc_init();
