Thanks a lot; now I've got a clear picture.

Here's what I did:
# find /usr/ports -type f -exec grep -l OPENSS_PORT "{}" ";"

This showed very few ports really requiring openssl from ports, none of 
which I had currently installed.

So I moved its libraries to /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/ and pkg_deleted 
(-f) it. Newer compilations would pick up base, then.

A "portupgrade -Rf nss_ldap" later, I can once more use ssh.

ThunderBird still does not start, but I'll investigate later.

I'm no expert, but I would vote for a solution to be found and this one 
seems good to me.
