It depends on the version of Mac OS X you want to support.

10.6 and 10.7 come with OpenSSL 0.9.8
10.5 comes with 0.9.7
10.4 comes with 0.9.6

So you don't need to ship OpenSSL unless you want to support 10.5 or earlier. Alternatively, you could build against an older OpenSSL instead as even 10.7 still has the 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 libs in /usr/lib.
