If you're looking for general cryptography that doesn't absolutely require mcrypt (like you just want to use Blowfish or Rijndael or some cipher algorithm that mcrypt provides), then I'll shamelessly plug a cryptography extension I've been working on that uses Crypto++ instead of mcrypt. It provides pretty much all of the functionality of the mcrypt extension, and in many cases is compatible with it.
Note that I'm only shamelessly plugging the extension because I'm interested in seeing if it works on OSX, not because I think it's the bomb or anything. I've got it working on Solaris 8, linux and Win2000, so I'm just curious how OSX would handle it. (We have a running copy of OSX at work, but I'm not allowed to play with it yet...) Anyways, if you're still interested despite my shameful advertising, head to http://www.tutorbuddy.com/software/ And check out the cryptopp extension.
