For a more comprehensive answer, see:

As to why this happened, the only way it could have happened is if someone ran "sudo port sync" or "sudo port selfupdate" (to get the updated openssl port definition) and then "sudo port upgrade" or "sudo port install" on openssl or on some port that has a dependency on openssl.

If you have not been in the habit of upgrading ports, then an easy way to see what else might have been affected at the same time would be to run "find" across /opt/local to identify any files that were modified recently.

Note that we never support old versions of MacPorts. The current version of MacPorts, which still works on Tiger, is 2.0.4. But if this is a live server I understand your desire not to touch a running system.
