So long as you define WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=3Dyes in your environment, both
the apache13-modssl and cyrus-imapd ports will link against the system
supplied version of the SSL libraries.
Thus you can use portupgrade to update those ports with minimal
downtime, and then delete the openssl port you've installed afterwards
without any unpleasant side effects from those two. Not that it
wouldn't be sensible to use ldd(1) to double check which SSL libraries
the binaries in question link against before you start hitting the
delete key.
Cheers,
Matthew
