I'm not aware of any OpenSSL bindings, but there are gcrypt bindings.

I do remember looking into creating OpenSSL bindings a while back and it
didn't seem like it would be too difficult to do, at least for the
higher level interfaces. If it would be significantly better for you to
avoid using two different libraries you may want to consider creating
OpenSSL bindings yourself, especially if you keep in mind that you only
really need to create bindings for the interfaces you plan on actually
using.
