The easiest way would be to have your recipe add "openssl" (and possibly 
"openssl10" in master / upcoming 2.5 release) to PROVIDES i.e.

PROVIDES += "openssl openssl10"

Then, in your configuration (distro config or inc file required from there 
typically) you would add this assuming your custom openssl recipe were called 
openssl-cisco:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_openssl = "openssl-cisco"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_openssl10 = "openssl-cisco"

Cheers,
Paul
