Hm, I do not have port openssl installed at all:
# pkg version |grep -i openssl
php56-openssl-5.6.8                =
py27-openssl-0.14                  =

And moreover, on my system (10.1-RELEASE, amd64) I have:
# porttree ports-mgmt/porttree
Depending on
0       +ports-mgmt/porttree
1       ++lang/python27
2       |++devel/gettext-runtime
3       ||+converters/libiconv
4       ||`print/indexinfo
5       |++devel/gettext-tools
        ||+converters/libiconv -> 3
        ||++devel/gettext-runtime -> 2
        ||+print/indexinfo -> 4
6       ||`textproc/expat2
7       |++devel/libffi
        ||`print/indexinfo -> 4
8       |+devel/ncurses
9       |`devel/pkgconf
10      `+math/py-networkx
11       ++devel/py-setuptools27
         |`+lang/python27 -> 1
         `+lang/python27 -> 1

Therefore I conclude:

- Installing binary packages with pkg does not honor the
  WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes switch. Is there another place to tell pkg to
  use base openssl when doing binary installations?

- If port openssl is not present on a system, any dependency to openssl
  is not detected by porttree.
