I haven't touched AIX for a long time, but just for giggles I downloaded
from curl.haxx.se the most recent AIX build of curl (7.15.1) that was
compiled for AIX by The Written Word. "strings" on the lpp package showed
there's a curl-config parked here:

     /opt/TWWfsw/curl715/bin/curl-config

Your milage may vary, depending on who compiled the version you have, but if
curl-config is handy, there's an option which will tell you where the
ca-bundle is located. e.g.

     curl-config --ca

           /opt/TWWfsw/curl715/share/ca-bundle.crt

You should be able to cat your certificate pem file onto the end of the
bundle.
