Ooh, I do vaguely remember having to install it for some reason, but that was probably 2 years ago now and I can't remember anymore.

Ok, I'm giving this one a try right now. It should only take a few days! When I ran pkgdb -F, I deleted all the references to openssl. I guess that ought to stop it being installed again by any of the ports that used it before? Thanks again for your help Michael.
