I put the certs for my test in /etc/ssl/certs when using the base
system openssl and in /usr/local/openssl/certs when using the openssl
port.

c_rehash uses a specific openssl binary when invoked like so:

env OPENSSL=/usr/bin/openssl c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs

You can set the OPENSSL and SSL_CERT_DIR environment variables
permanently, and that would ensure everything is consistent going
forward, even if the openssl port is present.
