Another user had a similar issue like this with OpenSSL, here is what I 
advised him to do which in the end worked perfectly.

Edit your make.conf file *"/etc/make.conf" *and please in the following:

*WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes

*This will cause all future installed ports to build against the base 
version of OpenSSL rather than trying to install the port version as a 
dependency.

You can then uninstall the port version of openssl 
*"/usr/ports/security/openssl make deinstall clean"*

Once the uninstall is complete, reinstall all OpenSSL required ports 
either by using portupgrade or by manually deinstalling and then 
reinstalling the port as they will now build against the base version of 
OpenSSL.

Thanks,

Russell
