It's a problem. Even if you say MKCRYPTO_IDEA=yes in your mk.conf,
you have to go through each and every program that uses openssl and
explicitly link it against libcrypto_idea, or it will print those
messages.
The bootlicking annoyware also returns errors to the program which are
sometimes not handled well. I ran into it with an SSL patch to
ircd-hybrid7, where the error returns were causing a hybrid test
program to exit prematurely.
