There are 2 problems:

- the compatibility issue that comes with installing EITHER openssl OR libressl
- the port-dependency issue that ensues

Installing the ssl libs in parallel and then providing respective variants is a 
different approach that doesn't correspond to the thread title ;)

What strikes me is that the sites linked to in this discussion only mention 
relinking software, not recompiling it. I guess that if the macros involved are 
identical that should indeed be enough, I guess.
