To get the openssl port to overwrite the base files built by the system you need to put OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes into /etc/make.conf If you then don't want the system to rebuilt openssl you'll need to have NO_OPENSSL=yes in /etc/make.conf as well otherwise each time you update your world it will overwrite the files installed by the port. It might be easier just to have WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes in /etc make.conf so that software will always try to build with the openssl from the port. Even though the system will rebuild openssl each time you update your world, nothing outside of the base system should try and use those libraries. It might be an idea to read /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf to get a full list of what the various options are and what they can do.
