I'm always reading :-)
No you can't use the 'openssl' command line utility directly for RSA
operations at present. I wrote a little utility that does this: I use it
to do RSA debugging but its not been publically released.
If I can find the time I'll merge it with the 'openssl' program and call
it "rsautil", "rsaop", "rsacrypt" or something like that.
If you want to do PGP like things you could always try the PKCS#7
(S/MIME) "experimental" stuff in crypto/pkcs7.
