You can use stunnel or sslwrap to proxy through to tpop3d.
Have it listen on, say, port 900, then use something like

pop3s   stream  tcp     nowait  sslwrap /usr/sbin/tcpd  /software/sbin/sslwrap 
-cert /var/lib/ssl/certs/server.pem -port 900

in inetd.conf.

An alternative is my tlsproxyd,
    http://ex-parrot.com/~chris/tlsproxyd/
-- it's not well tested but it works. It has the advantage
of being a long-lived process, so that it can ask for a
certificate passphrase at startup.

TLS support for tpop3d is planned, but Not Right Now.
