No, but you might be able to use GNU Crypto along with Jessie, a free
implementation of the Java Secure Sockets Extension that I have been
working on:

   <http://metastatic.org/source/jessie/>

The caveat is that I have not personally been able to get any test
programs to run when compiled with GCJ 3.4. You *might* be able to get
it to work with an earlier version of GCJ if you:

   * Use GNU Crypto's CVS sources.

   * Copy parts of Classpath CVS into your build (the packages
     gnu.java.security and gnu.java.security.der).

   * Include a security provider that implements X.509 certificate
     factories and DSA and RSA signatures (Classpath CVS does; also look
     at BouncyCastle <http://bouncycastle.org>).
