Set the openssl USE flag, which seems to be an option from 0.5.3_p451 onwards:

* net-misc/vpnc
     Available versions:  
			0.5.3 "amd64 ~arm ppc ppc64 ~sparc x86" [bindist hybrid-auth 
resolvconf]
		~	0.5.3_p451 "~amd64 ~arm ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86" [bindist openssl 
resolvconf]
		~	0.5.3_p457-r1 "~amd64 ~arm ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sparc ~x86" [bindist 
openssl resolvconf]
