No. Even if this would be the intention in the future, 
it is too early for that. The units need some testing first.

I doubt there will be a 2.6.x release still.

But I compiled everything with 2.6.4, and it worked.
You should be able to copy the following units from trunk to your projects directory:

openssl/src/openssl.pas
openssl/src/fpopenssl.pp
fcl-net/src/ssockets.pp
fcl-net/src/sslsockets.pp
fcl-web/src/fphttpclient.pp

and it should function.
