bsd.openssl.mk has the falling checks:

if WITH_OPENSSL_BASE is set, then use the base system's OpenSSL.
if WITH_OPENSSL_BASE or WITH_OPENSSL_PORT are not set, check if
${LOCALBASE}/lib/libcrypto.so is installed, if it is then use the
OpenSSL port, otherwise use the base system's OpenSSL.
if WITH_OPENSSL_PORT is set, then use the OpenSSL port

So, if you install the OpenSSL port first, then ports that require
OpenSSL should be built against the OpenSSL Port.
