Hello!
While unfortunate, I understand why. I think FreeBSD should encourage people who use OpenSSL for anything (ssh, etc) that they install OpenSSL via ports, set WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=YES and recompile apps/ports that use it.
I agree, it's much simpler (IMHO) to upgrade OpenSSL installed from port than to patch one in base. Just be aware that bugs can be met with on this path - just like ports/138466 (affects www/apache22 built WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes). It is critical to make sure that right runtime libraries (those from /usr/local/lib, not from the base) are used by _every_ application built WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=YES - and it's not always true ;(
