Have you considered using something like sslwrap? This is what we use
to add SSL support to tpop3d and other services. sslwrap listens on a
port, does the (en|de)cryption and then forwards to a conventional
daemon on another port.
Admittedly there is going to be a small performance hit from starting up
a separate process and a separate TCP connection, but I think that if
you're using software SSL then performance is Something That Happens to
Other People anyway...
