Hmm, why not just use openCryptoki with your own back-end as a plugin?  That
would save having to do all the PKCS #11 stuff and all you'd need to provide
is the backend glue code.

What you could also do, if you want to use it only with cryptlib, is
virtualise cryptlib itself (since it's totally message-based it doesn't care
whether the messages are going to a local or remote instance of itself).  This
is what the RPC layer in cryptapi.c (USE_RPCAPI) does.
