I dont' know of a walk through but I would "sudo port install openssl <other modules I load that build use openssl>" and then Server Admn change the paths for these modules to the MacPorts location. To find them use "port contents <port name>". I don't recall exactly where in Server Admin you configure Apache modules but I remember it being relatively easy to find.
