Comment (by noloader):

 Regarding this:

 > Much as we already use a bundled copy of a newer Tcl, MacPorts should
 use a bundled copy of a newer libcurl (and CA certificate bundle?) rather
 than the OS X version.

 I copied cURL's `cacert.pem` to
 `/System/Library/OpenSSL/certs/cacert.pem`, which was previously empty. It
 did not resolve the issue.

 It looks like its the old/downlevel version of OpenSSL. OpenSSL 0.9.8
 lacks a lot of goodies, like elliptic curve support and TLS 1.2 support.
 It is certainly not following contemporary best practices.

 Thanks for Ryan's help on a related ticket.
