You probably got the system OpenSSL the last time you built it. 10.11
doesn't have OpenSSL any more (I think it has LibreSSL? which is not 100%
compatible, apparently).

To use the MacPorts version, you likely need "./configure
--with-openssl=/opt/local" or similar.

Of course, there's also the MacPorts port of tor, and a port of the Vidalia
GUI.

    sudo port install vidalia        # will install tor as a dependency
