Having recently looked at the licenses for FreeTDS, I believe that there is no license conflict between the LGPL and the OpenSSL license except as regards relicensing LGPL works under the GPL, per paragraph 3 of the LGPL. If you are concerned with allowing people to incorporate your code into GPLed works, you may wish to add an exemption to the license you're using (after first securing permission from any other copyright holders, of course).
