Hi,

According to equery u vpnc, there is a local use variable "openssl"

~ $ equery u vpnc
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for net-misc/vpnc-0.5.3_p457-r1:
 U I
 - - bindist    : Flag to enable or disable options for prebuilt (GRP) 
packages (eg. due to licensing issues)
 - - openssl    : Use dev-libs/openssl for hybrid-auth instead of
net-libs/gnutls, may cause license issues when redistributing.
 - - resolvconf : Enable support for DNS managing framework
net-dns/openresolv

You can create a package.use file in /etc/portage and add a line to it
that includes the package name and use variable that will enable it. [0]

ex. echo "net-misc/vpnc openssl" >> /etc/portage/package.use

- HTH (and wasn't too confusing)
