The downside of this approach is that it renders nss_ldap and pam-ldap 
unusuable. If your (base) sshd is linked against base libcrypto and then 
pulls in nss_ldap/pam-ldap, openldap-client and openssl, all from pkgsrc, 
you have one binary with two libcrypto's, making sshd crash.

Sure, you can avoid that hassle by using nslcd (hint: pkg/49804).
