I suppose you are referring to one of the tar files in
ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current, aren't you?

Unless you built NetBSD with MKCRYPTO=no, OpenSSL 0.9.8e (plus some
patches) should be already available in the base system; pkgsrc should
detect it and not require security/openssl to be built.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. Pkgsrc always "keeps"
the OpenSSL version from the base system, i.e. it doesn't overwrite
or delete anything outside ${LOCALBASE}. And pkg_info will not list
the OpenSSL version from the base system since that's not a package...
