You are right, you can not build the OS with only 200 MB of disk space. (A
build without kernel nor X needs over 1GB.)

You couldn't easily just remove all OpenSSL, because some of its libraries
are used by other software -- which would need to be rebuilt.

Maybe you could make a list of some software you don't want, look at the
pkgsrc equivalent PLISTs (or the -current syspkg PLISTs as already
suggested, and try to build your own exclude list for when untarring (or
for afterward removing).
