I cant do that, but you could easy edit the old port your self and fix it that way.
I cant promise you that this will work, but you could change the PORTVERSION= 0.9.6d, to PORTVERSION= 0.9.6e. and change the distinfo...
But then we got the problem with the patches that are included in the port, that would probaly fail on you..

It's your own choice what to do, if you want to risk it do so.
If not, wait for the freebsd team to make an patch for us.
If you take a quick look at the current branch you will se that the openssl is changed to 0.9.6.e, but as we know, current branch aint so stable.

So the best thing is probaly to wait.

Best Regards
