The chicken and the OpenSSL

[Kill the Penguin]

I'm currently running 4.7-RELEASE-p10. I attempted to install
apache13-modssl from ports, but it is dependant on openssl-0.9.7a.
Unfortunately the installed version is openssl-0.9.6i. This will result in
two parallel installations of openssl which is not the end of the world,
but not desired. In the past I attempted to use only openssl in the ports
collection, but using NO_OPENSSL results in failed buildworlds.

So I attempted to update the src-crypto and src-secure portions of the src
tree and *just* build these components. It doesn't appear that REL_ENG_4_7
contains the latest version of openssl.

Is there a method to keep up with OpenSSL without having to parallel
installations? It appears you can't unhook the base installation from the
system, and I'm not sure forcing the ports version into /usr is going to
be a great idea. Anyone solve this problem?
