I looked at it a few of days ago and didn't think there was an issue.

bsd.openssl.mk has -

# Use of 'USE_OPENSSL=yes' includes this Makefile after bsd.ports.pre.mk
#
# the user/port can now set this options in the makefiles.
#
# WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes - Use the version in the base system.
# WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes - Use the OpenSSL port, even if base is up to date
#
# USE_OPENSSL_RPATH=yes - Pass RFLAGS options in CFLAGS,
#                         needed for ports who don't use LDFLAGS
#
# Overrideable defaults:
#
# OPENSSL_SHLIBVER=     8
# OPENSSL_PORT=         security/openssl


If you specifically want to use the base or port ssl you set either
WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes or WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes.

If you want a specific ssl variation you can set OPENSSL_PORT to the
port you want to use. The default is security/openssl

So if you want to use libressl then you set WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes and
OPENSSL_PORT=security/libressl

Porters should put USE_OPENSSL=yes in their Makefile, other settings
should only be added if necessary, leave the other options to the user.
