FreeBSD 13 + CertBot + OpenSSL 3 - status?

Does anyone in 'port land' know what the current developments are wrt 
CertBot (or py-crypto under its hood)?

CertBot is happily compiling against OpenSSL 3 from ports, but when 
running 'certbot', the crypto side of it talks to the base system 
OpenSSL 1.1.1, hence failing because the OpenSSL 1.1.1 library does not 
understand the OpenSSL 3 calls made to it.

 From what I understood, this was due to an error/regression in 
pkgconf(?) which causes some type of 'path reversal' that causes 
py-crypto to ignore the OpenSSL it was compiled against, favoring the 
base system library.

I either have to revert a whole lot of servers back to OpenSSL 1.1.1w 
from ports in order to renew certificates, or wait for "any movement" in 
getting the path reversal addressed/fixed.

So: does anyone know where we're at with this?
