Yes, though MacPorts should have handled this gracefully because git's revision was bumped at the same time that openssl was updated to 1.0.0a. So you should be able to just run:

sudo port selfupdate
port outdated
sudo port clean outdated
sudo port upgrade outdated

This should upgrade git and anything else that's outdated and leave you with working ports. If for some reason git is not shown as outdated and does not rebuild, force it to anyway:

sudo port -n upgrade --force git

Yes. When you build software, it will link with whatever version of the libraries it needs that are currently installed.
