I have the port version installed also. You need to put this in
your /etc/make.conf file sans quotations marks:
"WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes" and then build the port. Be sure to run
"make config" in the port prior to actually building it and that is
about it. If you are building it manually, you might want to run "make
clean" in the port prior to attempting to build it though.
