Heh. As it happens, I just researched the same thing. This
will be especially imortant with the new PGP code, which simply
does not work without OpenSSL.

I see 2 variants:

1) put @with_openssl@ and @with_zlib@ variables into
contrib/pgcrypto/Makefile.in and let configure process it.
2) put them in some other makefile fragment under src/
and let pgcrypto include it.

First I did the simple thing and put them into Makefile.global.in,
but this does not work, as it needs to be included _after_ all
module variables are set. So 2) needs a new file.
