 > The portfile you attached is basically illegible.

 My fault. Though I did run "port lint --nitpick openssl", and everything
 was fine:
 {{{
 $ port lint --nitpick openssl
 --->  Verifying Portfile for openssl
 --->  0 errors and 0 warnings found.
 }}}


 > As per [https://guide.macports.org/#project.contributing.updates The
 Guide], please attach a diff against the current portfile instead.

 Attaching file "openssl-port.diff". Hope it is fine now.

 > What benefit does linking against GMP provide, and are there good
 reasons why a user might //not// want this?

 The benefits would be getting better performance on big number crunching
 (such as in RSA algorithm) provided by GMP library. The reason not to want
 this IMHO would be lack of performance gain - if on a given platform
 OpenSSL native BN (bignum) implementation outperforms GMP.

 > Same question for enabling the deprecated algorithms.

 One benefit would be ability to use those older algorithms when there's a
 need if there's a need (plus algorithm freaks that just want to be able to
 use whatever there is whenever they want it :). A reason //not// to want
 it would be if the user does not have a need for those algorithms - in
 which case it would be safer to avoid carrying around the weaker code
 altogether, lest by chance somebody misconfigures it and results in a
 "product" communication under-protected.

 Please don't hesitate to ask more, especially if my explanations are less
 than crisp.
