TLS is concerned with encrypting at the transport layer whereas S/MIME is
concerned with encrypting and/or signing messages - they are not terribly
related.  AFAIK there is no fundamental incompatibility between S/MIME
and any transport although S/MIME may cause messages to grow beyond the
1300 byte threshold which then invokes the requirement that a congestion
controlled transport be used (e.g. TCP).
