No x-sendfile support, but actually just better "sendfile" support (a system API call and method for streaming out files better in Mongrel). The x-sendfile stuff tends to be more application framework specific rather than a Mongrel thing. Mongrel tries to reduce the amount of interference with the app frameworks since they usually make their own (more intelligent) decisions about what to send or not. Instead, each framework just needs a plugin that adds x-sendfile and they're set. Now, if you've got something that has a usage outside of the frameworks then just make a gemplugin (I'll help) and publish it same way as mongrel_cluster. As for SSL, nothing yet. Remember that Mongrel is not intended to be a full web server, so rather than bloat it with SSL support we just recommend putting it behind a real web server, kssl, stunnel, or some other "SSL heavy lifter". I think pen has experimental SSL support. You might try that out.
