both approaches work, which library should a port link against ?
Use the MacPorts version unless there's a really good reason not to.

OpenSSL is a bit of an exception, I think.

The system openssl should probably be used for GPLed programs without
an exception. Anyway, now that I've brought that up, I'd better
disappear :-)
