I'd suggest a less confusing name, then.  Maybe net/ucspi-crypto?  Or
even net/ucspi/crypto?

But I'm guessing minsslserver and minsslclient make tcp connections.
ucspi-tcp already handles that, so it would be better design to make
minssl just a filter like recordio or stunnel.  (Then it could also be
used with ucspi-unix/ucspi-ipc, etc.  That's the big advantage of the
ucspi design: you don't have to write yet another client/server pair
just for the sake of transforming the data passing through, and the
data transformer can be used with any ucspi-supported protocol.)  In
that case, maybe it would belong in math/.
