Full support for BeOS R5, BONE and Zeta has been integrated into the original 
OpenSSL tree (it took several pretty-pleases from my side to actually get the 
patches into their repository). 
Updating to the current version of OpenSSL (the 0.9.8-branch) for BeOS should 
thus be nothing more than checking it out and compiling (unless newer 
releases broke something, of course), but the problem with that is that all 
BeOS applications that use OpenSSL expect the older 0.9.7-version of the API.

So if someone wants to use OpenSSL-0.9.8 he would have to come up with a 
solution such that both versions of the library can co-exist on a system 
(otherwise existing applications might break).

BTW: Anyone interested in the BeOS-patches for the 0.9.7-branch of OpenSSL 
will find these included in the respective distribution (R5 or BONE/Zeta) 
available on BeBits (the patches can be found in ~/config/settings/ssl).

Concerning the required porting of OpenSSL to haiku, I strongly suggest going 
the same route, i.e. making sure that if there are any patches needed, these 
are being pushed upwards into the original OpenSSL repository. 
That would free us (or any haiku distributor) from having to maintain just 
one more vendor branch.

cheers,
        Oliver
