You received an HTML file instead of the intended script. Perhaps you downloaded from the wrong location, or there was a problem with the server.

sudo port install openssl +ssh_copy_id

It is unclear to me why we've hidden this script inside a variant -- why the openssl port doesn't install it all the time -- but that's how it currently is. I'm Cc'ing the maintainer of openssl and the person who fixed #27049 to answer this question.
