I think it would be possible to use MySQL with SSL in the following
way: 

 I know of a program called sslwrap, based on openssl. It can be found
at sourceforge.net.

 It is a wrapper that will act like a tunnel end of a ssl connection
and then forward the unencrypted data to another port on your local
machine. 

 You will also need openssl or ssleay and to create a certificate. Self
signed is acceptable. 

 Example:  
 MySQL runs on port 3306 and accepts connections only from localhost.
 sslwrap runs on port 3305 and forwards to local port 3306.
