Because, the author of GKrellM think that OpenSSL' license doesn't
match with GPL.  From ChangeLog:

	* Samuel Mimram patch: preferentially link to gnutls over
	  openssl to avoid GPL license compatibility issue.

I think it is better that a package of GKrellM should obey the
author's policy.  So, I choose to use GnuTLS by default.
Still, you can use OpenSSL by specifying WITH_OPENSSL=yes.

Sincerely,
