That's not correct. Remember the GPL has an exception for linking against a 
system's libraries. AFAIK, Linux distributions build git binaries on the 
grounds that their copy of openssl is system-provided. In that sense, we could 
distribute a copy of git that uses Apple's OpenSSL, but not one that uses 
MacPorts OpenSSL.

The issue is well-covered, though - just google for openssl gpl.

Remember IANAL and this isn't legal advice.
