Actually, the base system OpenSSL would be located at /usr/lib/libssl.so.# ; the error message you display there indicates that you've got another installation of OpenSSL under /usr/local.  Running:

  pkg_which /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.6

...might indicate whether you installed it from a port, in which case updating ports and rebuilding it would likely help.
