I've got a port that does not work with base openssl because it looks
for libssl.pc.  Other than that, I don't think it is picky about what
flavor of ports ssl is installed.  Because the default version of ssl
still defaults to base, I don't see a way to get this port to build on
the cluster, so there is no way to provide binary packages.  That's a
problem for end users because this port has bunch of huge build
dependencies.  Thoughts?
