Personally, I've been using the ports version of openssl on a number of
machines, and I haven't run into the sort of problems you claim. There
is not a lot between the ports of the base system, especially if you're
running a recent version of FreeBSD -- it's another port to manage, but
you get access to various bits of new functionality.

OK, this /should/ work. Add the following to /etc/make.conf:
WITH_OPENSSL_BASE= yes
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/pound}
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT= yes
.endif
Test SSL-using executables with ldd(1) to see which copy of libcrypto they
link against.
