Doesn't work for package builds: the OpenSSL package will not be
installed prior to building the port unless the port depends on it.
On the other hand, it's probably necessary for non-poudriere builds,
because if your build environment *does* have the OpenSSL port
installed, chances are high that anything you build will end up
linking against it unless it's installed with a nonstandard PREFIX.
