I hit ports which work with the port but fail with the base system and other ports that work with the base libssl but fail with the port installed. As a result, I have stuck with the base system. I've had to remove the port version a couple of times and rebuild all of the ports that had linked to it. A real pain. I understand why maintainers make some ports work with the old openssl in the base, but other don't and that road leads to madness. -- R.
