There's no such option as 'OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE' in a current ports
tree[*].  There is only

WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes

which means link any ports against the version of the OpenSSL libs
installed by the base system, or

WITH_OPENSSL_PORTS=yes

which means link any ports against the version of OpenSSL installed
from ports.  Applications that use SSL in the base system are always
linked against the base system version of OpenSSL, and the ports system
will throw an exception if you say 'WITH_OPENSSL_PORTS' but the ABI
version number of the shlibs in the base system is greater than the ones
from the ports.  So defining WITHOUT_OPENSSL in /etc/src.conf[+] is not
advisable either.

ports.  That's a bug.  It won't do anything.
