I'm porting some code to OS X (10.4 is minimum required level) that uses the
cURL and OpenSSL libraries. I see both of these libraries are present in
the /usr/lib directory on a stock machine. So, I am assuming they are
included in the base OS X build. What I'm wondering is, is it safe to
assume these will be present for the foreseeable 10.x future


Yes, since it would break a lot of apps if one of those libraries was removed. Apple still ships Mac OS X with OpenSSL 0.9.6, for example, even though it's obsolete, because some older apps depend on it.
