It depends on the system, and if base openssl is good enough.  Yes,
netbsd has openssl in base.  It's good to keep a system updated along
the maintenance release (netbsd-7, netbsd-8).  See the guide for system
updating options.

"pkg_info openssl" will tell you.

But, you are going down the path of updating some but not all packages,
and this is going to be trouble.    I would rcommend that you update all
of pkgsrc to either the most recent stable branch (pkgsrc-2018Q2) or
pkgsrc current (CVS HEAD) if you are adventurous, and then rebuild all
your packages.  That's also described, but your choices are:

 - pkgin fug
 - do a bulk build and then use pkgin on your own binaries
 - pkg_chk (I have forgotten the details)
 - pkg_rolling-replace (this is what I do)
 - make update (really, really, don't do this)


Unless you really need something in pkgsrc head that's not in the stable
branch, I recommend using the most recent stable branch.  2018Q3 should
be available in a few weeks, but 2018Q2 is not that old.
