I think you're correlating two things in correctly.  The OpenSSL update
was completely separate and unrelated to the update to
ports/www/lighttpd.  The version bump in ports/www/lighttpd was done for
an unrelated reason (to add support for TCP_NODELAY):

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/lighttpd/Makefile
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/lighttpd/Makefile.diff?r1=1.77;r2=1.78;f=h

Simply put: due to the OpenSSL upgrade, people should rebuild all ports
that are dependent upon OpenSSL.  If your problem persists after that,
then I would recommend contacting the lighttpd folks to find out why
their software doesn't work with OpenSSL 0.9.8n.

I can tell you factually that Apache 2.2 (ports/www/apache22) works fine
after the OpenSSL bump.  I *did* rebuild Apache after seeing the OpenSSL
change, however.

This is what happens when there are library or include file semantic
changes.  I have to regularly remind folks that there is no guarantee
a semantic change results in a bump of the shared library version
number (e.g. libxxx.so.6 --> libxxx.so.7).
