The "official" way to do this is to do something like:
make makefiles CCARGS="-I/opt/local/include -DUSE_TLS - 
DUSE_SASL_AUTH" AUXLIBS="-L/opt/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto"

The current Portfile does this, but it adds the -I and -L options to  
the end of the variable, which may make a difference?

The correct paths are ${prefix}/lib and ${prefix}/include

where ${prefix} is usually (but not always) /opt/local
