I don't think we need a client that can deal with gopher as such, you can simply use an external utility that can deal with SSL and pipe it's unencrypted output into the client.

I've also set up my own gopher hole at gopher://slienz.it with standard port 70 and put a few things like my own gopher client (that is rather unixy and would lend itself well to pipe chains with external utils handling SSL) and some various information about the POSIX Sh.
