I only use openssl from ports and have just completed a rebuild of 662
packages for server requirements and include: trousers, ldap client and
server, and 71 other ports built without any issues on amd64 10.1Stable
using clang.  Not so successful on i386 but I don't believe its related
to openssl.

My 2c.
Regards, Dewayne
PS Of the ports I use, only ports-mgmt/pkg and sysutils/monit link
against base openssl as they don't provide an option. :(
