RHEL3 should be supported.

What URL?

The pkgsrc/www/lynx uses the openssl buildlink3.mk. The 
security/openssl/builtin.mk is a little confusing.

In your pkgsrc/www/lynx try:

bmake clean
bmake configure
cat work/.buildlink/.buildlink_openssl_done
bmake show-var VARNAME=USE_BUILTIN.openssl
bmake show-var VARNAME=BUILDLINK_PREFIX.openssl
