When we were migrating servers from RELENG_11 to RELENG_12, it was a bit of work making sure ports/packages/custom apps that were linked against the older OpenSSL worked with the newer one as its not a simple replacement due to API breakage.  I am guessing a few things in the base might have issues as well that wont allow for a simple drop in replacement of the new OpenSSL.  Its all quite doable, but its a bit of work     ---Mike
