The difference between a shared lib and a framework is simply one of bundling. The framework is a directory structure comprising all the necessary libraries and their header files that can be simply dropped into a project in XCode in a single step.
Felix Schutze determined that there was not only an additional parameter to send to configure (BSD-generic32, which can be passed into my generic script on the command line), but also that OpenSSL source code needs the below modifications for iOS (slightly different for each build of sim, armv6 or armv7):

sed -ie "s!^CFLAG=!CFLAG=-isysroot /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS${SDKVERSION}.sdk !" "Makefile"
# remove sig_atomic for iPhoneOS
sed -ie "s!static volatile sig_atomic_t intr_signal;!static volatile intr_signal;!" "crypto/ui/ui_openssl.c"

I can add that to my script and make a complete OpenSSL framework if you're interested.

Let me know if you need help. We could pretty much package the whole thing (OpenSSL + libunbound + ldns) into one drop-in framework.
