Yes and no. Each user can choose to not install openssl parts and other
base packages depending on it. They can already do that anyway, there
are a lot of "WITHOUT" knobs, there's also WITHOUT_OPENSSL. Only real
difference is at present it has to be done compiling from source, with
packages it could be done by picking packages.

But that option will not change the basic problem of how the OS is
developed. FreeBSD base will anyway include OpenSSL even though users
can choose(and have been able to for a long while) too not install it.
