I had a look at the ports Makefile, and there is only one thing that
is holding the port back, from doing what you want.  The port defines:

.if !defined(WITHOUT_SSL)
USE_OPENSSL= yes
.endif

before it includes bsd.port.pre.mk.  If this could be included after
the bsd.port.pre.mk, then the port could have been made to work as you
wanted.  Since USE_OPENSSL is defined in bsd.port.pre.mk, it needs to
be defined before this *.mk file.  If it could be moved into
bsd.port.post.mk, then the ports Makefile could be changed as follows;

-.if !defined(WITHOUT_SSL)
-USE_OPENSSL= yes
-.endif

 .include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

-.if defined(WITH_GNUTLS) && !defined(WITHOUT_SSL)
-IGNORE=         may only use GNU TLS if WITHOUT_SSL is defined
+.if defined(WITH_GNUTLS)
+WITHOUT_SSL= yes
+.else
+USE_OPENSSL= yes
.endif
