You misunderstand my intention. What I would like to do is to make a
port use security/openssl instead of base OpenSSL even if user sets
'DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ssl=base' in /etc/make.conf (or user doesn't
customize setting about ssl at all).

As I wrote previous mail, if 'USES=python:3.8+' is specified in
Makefile of a port, lang/python38 is used for the port event if user
adds 'DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=3.7' in /etc/make.conf. I'm looking for
similar way about ssl setting.
