>Description:
OpenBSD is not shipping with OpenSSL anymore, but with LibreSSL. Over the time, slight API differences have developed. As OpenBSD used to ship with OpenSSL, pkgsrc prefers native OpenSSL over pkgsrc OpenSSL. As that native OpenSSL is LibreSSL in fact, things break.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Add _OPSYS_PREFER.openssl ?= pkgsrc to mk/platform/OpenBSD.mk

 This serves as a good indicator of what's broken with LibreSSL and
 requires fixing.
 Is there anything listed here that is missing the required patches?

 I imagine many OpenBSD users hold LibreSSL dear and would be unhappy
 to see it replaced (quietly) with OpenSSL when using pkgsrc.

 At the very minimum, we could let users know about the option to replace
 it in README.OpenBSD.

State-Changed-Why:
Won't fix. Users of OpenBSD feel strongly about LibreSSL and wouldn't like to find out it was silently replaced by OpenSSL. I've added an entry to the readme to mention it's possible to replace it.
