The FreeBSD-utilities package tends to contain anything which is not marked
to go in some other package so yes, this is an oversight which could be
fixed by adding 'PACKAGE= openssl-lib' to
secure/lib/libcrypto/modules/fips/Makefile or possibly
secure/lib/libcrypto/Makefile.inc. If openssl.cnf is something only used at
compile time, that should also go in openssl-lib.
