I'm not sure why applink.c doesn't exist for you. I don't know if this
will work, but you might try checking out a prebuilt OpenSSL:
        svn checkout https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-mswin32-aux
I checked and applink.c is present there.

I think that the Ncat Portable instructions haven't been updated since
we removed the mswin32/OpenSSL directory from the nmap directory. You
might have to install your compiled OpenSSL in a different place.
