./configure --help | grep openssl=
  --with-openssl=DIR                 set path to OpenSSL library sources

The sources, but not pre-built installation.

wget http://openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz
tar zxf openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.0.2
./configure --with-openssl=../openssl-1.0.0d ...
