Comment (by ryandesign):

 My understanding now, after reading
 [https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252420 an extended
 FreeBSD discussion] on this topic, is that php itself must be compiled
 with the openssl extension integrated in order for this to work. MacPorts
 currently offers the openssl php extension as a separately installable
 port, and this apparently is not sufficient for this to work. FreeBSD has
 removed their separately-installable openssl php extension package and
 integrated it into php for versions 8.0 and later. We could do that too;
 we already integrate some other essential extensions like xml. I would
 have to investigate what the situation is for earlier php versions. It may
 be that they cannot support this at all, in which case we might keep the
 separate openssl ports for those php versions.
