I wonder, have you installed the contribution package? If not then this is what 
you need, I think - it's been a few years since I did this...

9fs sources
/n/sources/contrib/fgb/root/rc/bin/contrib/install fgb/contrib

Once this completes you should be able to do the installs you wanted.
FYI, i have never used OpenSSL on plan9, there is a an sslv2 compliant
client an server thanks to cor aid and Brian Stuart.

is contrib/* set to be executable?  as mentioned above, the contrib programs
(like patch, and apatch) call each other, so it's important that the top-level
directory be in one's path.
