Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Well, creating a port is hopefully straightforward. Documentation is in
 our guide.

 Using it in place of openssl is more involved. If libressl is indeed
 designed to be a drop-in replacement for openssl, and uses the same
 library version number, then all ports that depend on openssl could be
 modified from port:-style dependencies to path:-style dependencies. If
 they are not library version compatible, however, then any port that uses
 openssl and could optionally use libressl would have to have variants
 added, and openssl and libressl would have to make sure that they don't
 try to install files to the same locations.
