I see the pages are created from perl-style POD documents using pod2man.

PLD Linux uses for openssl-0.9.7e-1.src.rpm:

# Conv PODs to man pages. "openssl_" prefix is added to each manpage
# to avoid potential conflicts with others packages.
center="OpenSSL 0.9.7"
rel="OpenSSL 0.9.7"

cd doc/apps || exit 1
%{__perl} -pi -e 's/(\W)((?<!openssl_)\w+)(\(\d\))/$1openssl_$2$3/g; s/openssl_openssl/openssl/g;' *.pod;

for pod in *.pod; do
	if [ $pod != "openssl.pod" ]; then
		mv -f $pod openssl_$pod;
		pod=openssl_$pod;
	fi

	sec=1
	if [ $pod = "openssl_config.pod" ]; then
		sec=5
	fi

	manpage=`basename $pod .pod`.$sec;
	pod2man --section="$sec" --release="$rel" --center="$center" \
		$pod > $manpage;
	echo "$manpage";
done
cd ..

sec=3
for dir in ssl crypto; do
	cd $dir || exit 1;
	if [ $dir = "ssl" ]; then
		rel="OpenSSL SSL/TLS library"
	elif [ $dir = "crypto" ]; then
		rel="OpenSSL cryptographic library"
	fi

	%{__perl} -pi -e 's/(\W)((?<!openssl_)\w+)(\(\d\))/$1openssl_$2$3/g; s/openssl_openssl/openssl/g;' *.pod;

	for pod in *.pod; do
		sec=`[ "$pod" = "des_modes.pod" ] && echo 7 || echo 3`;
		mv -f $pod openssl_$pod;
		pod=openssl_$pod;
		manpage=`basename $pod .pod`.$sec;
		pod2man --section="$sec" --release="$rel" --center=" " $pod > $manpage;
		echo "$manpage";
	done
	cd ..
done

Maybe we could do this in the pkgsrc/security/openssl/Makefile or patch
the work Makefile.
