Not directly. You can put a proxy web server in front of it, to serve https.
But, currently, there's no implementation of https encryption in J, which is what you would need to implement this without proxying. (That said, note that the guidelines for certificate management tend towards things like requiring someone to manually start it up - entering a password to decrypt the certificate, or something along that line. Most people ignore this issue or simply are not aware of it.)
