Perhaps something like the patch that I've attached?  If Nmap is
compiled with OpenSSL support, it will report the version of the library
compiled against, as well as the version of the library the binary is
linked against.  For builds where OpenSSL is not enabled, it notes that
as well.

I'm not sure where something like this would fit in the Nmap XML schema,
and I don't think it's worthwhile to insert it as a comment, as it's not
parseable that way.  If you have any ideas, I could extend the patch to
support that.
