The upcoming Apple iPhone is rumoured to ship with the same VPN client as
Mac OS X:

This client _should_ work with Openswan. I do wonder whether the iPhone
supports X.509 authentication, because installing a certificate on Mac OS X is
not a straightforward operation.
So if there is anyone willing to do a little experiment once the iPhone is
out, let us know on this list! :-)
As an aside, Windows Mobile based smartphones have supported L2TP/IPsec for
some time now, but I have never been able to actually start a connection (on
the emulator at least).
