One other thing I forgot to mention:
You will need to rebuild all ports reliant on SSL (this may be hard to
determine reliably), as well as all base system utilities reliant on SSL
(make world will suffice for this), as there will very likely be a
library version mismatch between the old base OpenSSL and the port
version of OpenSSL.
There's a chance you won't have to do this ("I installed the port like
you said and everything still works"), but I would recommend you not
take any chances.
