No openssl port installed.
All ports rebuilt since the libc bump.

konq/ssl, kmail, kwallet all work just fine, uptime is 28 days.

My experience with building and using the SSL port is that causes 
cascading and very annoying problems in ports management and not just 
with KDE. Fortunately I've not encountered nor used anything that 
required the version from ports so I avoid installing it and the 
headaches it brings.
