For RELENG_6 and earlier, you will need the ports version
of openssl in order to use rsa-sha256. Some ported software
needs that (eg. mail/dkim-milter). Otherwise there isn't
any great advantage either way. RELENG_7 and above are
close to up-to-date already (version 0.9.8e rather than
0.9.8f) and support all the latest ciphers.

Put:
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT= yes
into /etc/make.conf
