There are two basic options:

- define KERNEL_BITS environment variable to 64 to instruct OpenSSL's 
  ./config to do the right thing;

- build OpenSSL yourself with any options you want (or, e.g., 
  install one from MacPorts), and then instruct nginx to use 
  appropriate headers and library files using the "--with-cc-opt" 
  and "--with-ld-opt" configure options.
