Well, if kdelibs is finding OpenSSL but you're using the qt4-mac
package from macports, that would explain why qt didn't find it.

If you want to use the qt4-mac port (and as it's co-maintainer, I
applaud that!) and you want to make sure ssl is configured in it,
try this command to install it:

sudo port install qt4-mac +ssl

You may also want to remove the version without ssl:

sudo port deactivate qt4-mac
sudo port uninstall qt4-mac

Note that qt4-mac takes a long time to compile so I recommend
letting it run overnight.

Also note that it's just asking for trouble if you're compiling kde
on your own with both fink and macports installed. :-(

Hopefully in the not to distant future, you'll be able to just do

sudo port install kde4-mac

and have macports handle everything for you, but I've had a
lot of stuff happening lately to get to creating the portfiles.
Things are slowing down now, though, so hopefully by the
end of the summer or earlier I'll actually get that done.

Cheers,
