Yes.

net/openntpd does this:
  tls_load_file(tls_default_ca_cert_file(), ...)

tls_default_ca_cert_file() is from security/libretls, where it is
a wrapper around X509_get_default_cert_file() from OpenSSL.
X509_get_default_cert_file() returns X509_CERT_FILE, which is defined
to "/etc/ssl/cert.pem".

I don't see a replacement in /usr/share/certs/.

I used openntpd as an example, because that's a case I know, but
presumably there are further instances in the ports tree.
