If python312 works with libressl, you could try modifying the dependency to be something like 'path:lib/libssl.dylib:openssl' instead of 'port:openssl' (or you could open a ticket and ask the maintainer to make the change).

The openssl port is just a shim that points to openssl3 (so if you install it 'normally' it will use macports openssl3 port).
