Sure.

Look in the manual in the section "6.2.1.1 Direct Functions"
(<http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_154.html#SEC154>).

Here is an example:

 (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
       '((nnml "")
         (nntp "news.gmane.org"
               (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream)
               (nntp-port-number 563)
               (nntp-address "snews.gmane.org"))
         ))

(The nnml-thing is, of course, not relevant).


[This works for me on Debian GNU/Linux, using openssl, I guess, and No
 Gnus 0.6].
