Well, thanks for re-checking with ldconfig we can see our
OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE did not help. Something is broken during the upgrade.
Can you check whether openssl libraries reside only in /usr/local/lib and not
in /usr/lib ?

BTW, you can look at /var/bd/pkg/<pkgname-version>/+CONTENTS to see where are
the files installed by port reside. also, `pkg_info -W /path/to/the/file' is
useful to debug.

About your problem: contemporary port building system checks for OpenSSL _only_
in base system directories, particularly /usr/lib/libcrypto.so

So, possibly, quick hack like 'ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so /usr/lib' may
help you.

Anyway, please consider upgrading to 4.8 which should be out of door this week.
