Yep. 
Well, if NOT using the ports, below works too, apart from Scott's
solution. 
---------------
This is /bin/csh; Consider setting ENV according to your shell.


# setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib  ## may be removed after build 

# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH/
/usr/local/lib/

# tar xzf tor-0.2.2.6-alpha.tar.gz   ## or git    

# cd tor-0.2.2.6-alpha

# ./configure --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/lib && make

# ldd src/or/tor
src/or/tor:
	libz.so.4 => /lib/libz.so.4 (0x8817f000)
	libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x88191000)
	libevent-1.4.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libevent-1.4.so.3 (0x881a6000)
	libssl.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.5 (0x881bc000)
	libcrypto.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.5 (0x88200000)
	libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x88347000)
	libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x8835b000)
	librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 (0x88447000)


----------------

This update, BTW, will not only break the 'small fraction of the router
population' ;), but also all those using Tor as a client until up
to 8 Stable on newly installed and updated FreeBSD systems.  
What's on 9 -Current ?
