I disagree. There is no reason for "leaf" ports to depend on ports version of 
openssl
and this is impossible in come cases. For example, net/mpd5 port that links 
with base libfetch
that links with base openssl. So, net/mpd5 must NOT be linked with ports openssl
and frankly, it needs not.

Global inflexible knob for whole ports tree is bad thing.
