Unfortunately this isn't an option at the present time.  The machine has a
fair bit of userland hacks and customisations which won't survive an
upgrade.  (This is the same reason why I have a few 3.x boxes which haven't
migrated to 4.x yet.  However, the 3.x machines can use openssl-0.9.5 which
is in the ports.  The 4.x machines can't.)

This being said, is there much hazard in commenting out the FORBIDDEN line
in the openssl port and doing a 'make clean; make install PREFIX=/usr'?
