OpenSSL should work on pocket PCs already, I can't check that myself because
my iPAQ died with the infamous inverted screen problem :-(

There shouldn't be too much of a problem under a Linux/PDA.

The main issue though is the size of the OpenSSL libraries which aren't
optimized for a space constrained environment.

If you just need libcrypto then you might be able to use CryptoAPI under
Pocket PC: that's installed with the OS albeit in a reduced form.
