Hi Johan,

Another option is to define OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE when building the openssl
port, this will install the port version where the base system openssl would
usually be. If not using portupgrade you would do something like
"make -DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE", if using portupgrade you have two options:
"portinstall -m '-DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE' openssl" or you can edit the
MAKE_ARGS variable in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf so it reads something
like

MAKE_ARGS = {
    'security/openssl' => '-DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE',
    'misc/some-other-port' => '-DMAKE_ARGUMENTS'
}

and then just run portinstall openssl (or portupgrade) and it'll
automagically add the flags. This is what I do with OpenSSH and OpenSSL.

Just an idea :p
