According to Alan, attributes included in the Diameter tunnel within EAP-TTLS 
are automatically converted into RADIUS attributes.
I honestly can't remember if TTLS allows for validation of the client 
certificate when setting up the TLS tunnel, but if it does, then that would 
probably be your best bet. If it doesn't, then you could always run EAP-TLS 
within EAP-TTLS which would be supported by FreeRADIUS without code 
modifications.

You would however have to modify the supplicant.
