 To support my assertion, I replaced security/openssl/builtin.mk with a 
 dummy file.  Later, I replaced
 security/openssl/buildlink3.mk with a dummy file.  In both cases, 
 executing "bmake -V '${BUILTIN_PKG.openssl}'
 from the directory security/heimdal afterwards returned "openssl-1.0.0e".
 
 I think this proves BUILTIN_PKG.openssl has the possibility of being 
 defined outside of the openssl builtin logic
 in both NetBSD and DragonFly.  Can I have some assistance on figuring 
 out how?
