Just realized that there is security/ca_root_nss that installs the certs 
into /usr/local/share/certs and the port itself asks if you want to 
create symlink to it in /etc/ssl/cert.pem. You may add any of them into 
your ~/.hgrc. Please let me know if it works for you, and if it is, it 
should be added into mercurial's wiki, and maybe to our mercurial port 
as pkg-message or so.
