Uh... This is not what the FreeBSD NSS port claims in the
package description file:

http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/freebsd/FreeBSD-stable/ports/security/nss/pkg-descr
] Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support
] cross-platform development of security-enabled server applications.
] Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7,
] PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security
] standards.

immediatly thought it was referring to the same thing you
did, FWIW...
