If memory serves right, the 2.6 and 2.7 libssl stuff should be in /usr/local, 
whereas the 2.8 system stuff is in /usr.

There should be no collision.
Just check that you indeed have the most recent versions of libssl in
/usr/lib, run pkg_delete, and kill the *-0 files.

Anything you find matching *-0 is a candidate for deletion, that's what 
pkg_add will do when it finds a file it already found.

If you haven't already, you should also look at specific
openbsd26/openbsd28 directories.

subdirectories of
/usr/lib/gcc-lib
/usr/lib/perl* (old)
and
/usr/libdata/perl*
come to mind.
