 Thanks for the PR John!
 
 I think we will need to add in www/curl/options.mk, for the openssl
 if branch:
 
  BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.openssl+=      openssl>=3.0
 
 And that should pick up pkgsrc openssl.
 
 
 I believe that a recursive revbump is not needed because the package is
 already failing to build but please correct me if I'm wrong!
 
 
 I don't have access to build on any netbsd-9 machines right now so if
 anyone would like to try and commit it... feel free to beat me!
 
 
 Thanks!
