That works - thanks a bunch. For anyone else reading, it's easy to pass this through 'o conf':

   o conf makepl_arg 'LIBS="-lz -L/usr/sfw/lib/64 -lssl -lcrypto"'

Long story: turns out that -lssl -lcrypto are being left out of EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS in the Makefile (no idea why - Makefile.PL comes with LIBS => [q{-lz -lssl -lcrypto -lssl32 -lssleay32 -leay32}]). So putting them in the Makefile and building again from the shell works too:

EXTRALIBS = -lz -lssl -lcrypto
LDLOADLIBS = -lz -lssl -lcrypto

    Makefile.PL comes with LIBS => q{-lz -lssl -lcrypto -lssl32 -lssleay32 -leay32})

    If those libraries are not located at the 'perl Makefile.PL' step, they don't get written in to the generated Makefile.
    It would seem that /usr/sfw/lib/64 is not being searched - for which another fix would be to change the quoted entry in the Makefile.PL to: 
    LIBS => [q{-lz -L/usr/sfw/lib/64 -lssl -lcrypto -lssl32 -lssleay32 -le
+ay32}])

    Passing it through 'o conf' is probably a better solution - in that it doesn't involve manual editing of any files.
    Yet another option would be to add /usr/sfw/lib/64 to the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable: 
    export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/sfw/lib/64
