... but you're interested in it. Would you consider becoming the  
maintainer?

They maybe should be. The trace mode dependency checking isn't always  
able to perfectly determine if a dependency is real or not, though,  
so it's possible that it's not important.

One thing to do would be to check (perhaps with 'otool -L') and see  
if any of the postgis binary files link against one of those  
libraries or not.

Another thing to check would be to determine if you can prevent the  
build from trying to look for/make use of those libraries (by passing  
a --no-ssl flag to configure, for instance).

It may or may not be.

Trace mode didn't detect files installed by that port to be used.  
That doesn't necessarily mean that it's not a valid dependency (but  
it is a good hint).
