OpenSSL has a bignum library in their crypto/bn subdirectory.  The
license seems to be a modified BSD.  (see
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/bn/bn.h?rev=1.1.1.1.2.6&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
for the license and header).

Alternately, there was a crypto class at jhu last semester which
involved all the students' writing a bignum library.  Maybe some of the
students would be willing to BSD-license their homework?  :-p
