I indeed wondered why this variable hadn't been mentioned so far. Guys,
you do have "WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes" in your "/etc/make.conf", haven't you?

Because otherwise the whole thread might be considered a false alert.
The ports system does not link with the ports' OpenSSL of its own
accord. Or at least not in a reliable/predictable manner. You have to
explicitly tell it what you want.

Best regards,
