Using MacPorts/Homebrew instead of manual install would allow /usr/bin/ssh (for example) to use /usr/local/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib instead of /usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib ?

The more I think about it, the more I do agree with you, but I can't help thinking that's too bad I can't upgrade openssl+libs on my system.
