Perhaps not, but it's probably the best and most accurate answer
you're going to get.

*Why* do you want an unsigned CRL?  What would such a thing give you
that a standard signed CRL would not?  How do you expect to use it,
given that most or all of the software that uses CRLs requires a
verified signature?

A CRL is basically a list of certificate serial numbers with a
cryptographic signature.  It sounds like what you're looking for is
just a list of serial numbers.  You can easily extract such a list
by running the command

    openssl crl -in CRL-FILENAME -noout -text

and perhaps massaging the output.  The result isn't strictly speaking
a CRL at all, but perhaps it's what you're looking for.
