I think you may be confused here. Are you talking about the password algorithm used for passwords in /etc/master.passwd? OpenSSL is not involved in that (libcrypt is), and you have two choices: DES or MD5 (or Blowfish, compatible with OpenBSD, in -current). See login.conf(5) on recent versions of FreeBSD (the passwd_format login capability). Passwords are stored using a cryptographic hash, not a cipher. A cipher can be used to implement a hash (and vice versa), but they're two different things.
