Andriy,
    This was a valid issue not related to amd64 (it should have been
filed under bin instead) in particular because the end-user chose to
install with WITHOUT_OPENSSL defined in src.conf and hastd requires
openssl to compile (and I assume link and run). Should openssl from
ports be picked up instead of system if openssl from base isn't
installed? Probably not a good assumption to make given the version
differences between ports and base today, but if the user chose to do
so, that could have been customized using /etc/make.conf or
/etc/src.conf to intelligently include /usr/local/include in CFLAGS
and /usr/local/lib in LDFLAGS if building world. However, it's
unsupported in my book and he'd be stuck trying to figure out where
any issues occurred and maybe he could get some assistance from
helpful developers who maintain pieces that would break from this, but
I wouldn't assume that to be the case.
    On the bright side of things, I forwarded the email to Pawel and
he was very responsive and committed a fix to HEAD for the PR (cheers
Pawel :)!).
Thanks!
