My suggestion, if you were to take that route, would be to use the Engine interface rather than modifying the OpenSSL source. You could take the existing OpenSSL implementation of the functionality, move it into an engine (using one of the existing ones as a template), get that working, and then see about parallelizing it.

I created a modified version of the existing CAPI engine, and it wasn't particularly difficult. If memory serves, the OpenSSL wiki has some material on the subject too.
