I have never tried this with OpenSSL so I can't be certain (I just use
base openssl) but as long as the libraries are already open, deleting
them should be ok since the open file handle will remain valid.
Starting a new SSH connection may not work between the deinstall and
install step, and apache may get upset if it happens to fork a new
process in that time, but overall it should be ok,
You'll want to restart sshd and apache after the install is done so they
puck up the new version.
If you are worried about getting disconnected between the 2 steps run
them as a single command "make deinstall; make install" inside screen
(ports/sysutils/screen) or something so it will run to completion even
if you get disconnected.

OK,
So I am using https, and, while doing all this, will be connected via
PuTTy through ssh. Will I be disconnected ?
Deingstalling the port won't kill my connection or cause general
weirdness to people using https?

Hi CHris,
Just attempting to install the port. Something I noticed when the
install crapped out was that it wanted me to use the "Force Package
Register" for the OpenSSL_Overwrite_Base port.
That port was already installed, what would be the correct method to
deal with this?

I've found this sometimes happens if the port is checking for a
specific version of a dependancy and the version you have is older.
Therefore the dependency check fails and it tries to install, but the
package manager won't let it because of the existing version.
You can deinstall OpenSSL_Overwrite_Base first and it will probebly
work fine.
