Yes, see http://curl.haxx.se/docs/features.html

and http://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html says:

     curl can be built to use a whole range of libraries to provide various
     useful services, and configure will try to auto-detect a decent
     default. But if you want to alter it, you can select how to deal with
     each individual library.

     To build with GnuTLS support instead of OpenSSL for SSL/TLS, note that
     you need to use both --without-ssl and --with-gnutls.

     To build with yassl support instead of OpenSSL or GnuTLS, you must build
     yassl with its OpenSSL emulation enabled and point to that directory root
     with configure --with-ssl.

     To build with NSS support instead of OpenSSL for SSL/TLS, note that
     you need to use both --without-ssl and --with-nss.
