The good news is that, since Christian's recent enhancements in Issue32598 to 
have autoconf use pkg-config to detect OpenSSL header and lib files, configure 
will now automatically find the MacPorts OpenSSL as long as the MacPorts bin 
directory (typically /opt/local/bin) is in the shell PATH when you run 
configure.  MacPorts supplies pkg-config and .pc files for various packages it 
installs including OpenSSL. (Apple doesn't ship a copy of pkg-config with 
macOS).  I found this out by accident; thanks, Christian!  The current status 
quo is also more robust in that MacPorts is not necessarily installed in 
/opt/local, a problem with PR 5388 as it stands.  I install MacPorts from 
source to a non-standard location so it would be good for someone to verify 
that the current 3.7 configure works with a default (/opt/local) binary install 
of MacPorts.
