OK. You're on a recent 5.x system that has dynamically linked
software in the root partition -- on older FreeBSD versions, stuff in
/bin would generally be statically linked.
The port is very helpfully stopping you shooting yourself in the foot
by scribbling all over /lib/libcrypto.so which presumably is now a
critical file required so that the system will boot.
It's also probably pointless replacing the base version of the OpenSSL
shlibs with the ports version, because they are probably pretty much
exactly the same code.
Cheers,
Matthew
