Comment (by devernay):

 Any chance of getting a proper fix for that? I'm tired of manually
 downloading github packages (#64081), especially now that most distfiles
 are fetched from github rather than macports mirrors.

 I would even consider it a security issue at this point, since "All older
 versions [of openssl] (including 1.1.0, 1.0.2, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8) are now
 out of support and should not be used." - from
 https://www.openssl.org/source/

 Any software that currently ships (including MacPorts) should not use any
 of these versions, and thus not use the system's curl on older systems.
