I can not reproduce using these steps with trunk (ruby 1.9.3dev
(2011-02-18 trunk 30894) [x86_64-darwin10.6.0]).

I'd probably try first to uninstall OpenSSL from MacPorts (or maybe
move /opt to be sure Ruby won't look there).
Then reinstalling rvm (I once had some really weird issue, and
reinstalling rvm solved it).
You can of course just `mv ~/.rvm ~/.rvm_old` to not lose your old installation.
And it would be interesting to see if it also happens with trunk (rvm
install ruby-head).
