Aha. This seems to be a fault in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk around line 930

.if defined(USE_OPENSSL)
.if ${OSVERSION} >= 400014
.if !exists(/usr/lib/libcrypto.so)
.BEGIN:

You may try to play with symlinks, but I suppose more natural way is to upgrade
your system to at least 4.6 security branch and install OpenSSL from base
system.

Or, you can simply make postgresql port without SSL support:

cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7
make WITHOUT_SSL=yes
