Possible to use Tinc with embedded SSL implementations like PolarSSL, YaSSL?

No. Tinc does not use SSL itself, it uses the OpenSSL library for lower level
cryptographic functions. PolarSSL or CyaSSL do not expose the functionality
needed by tinc. In theory, libgcrypt or LibTomCrypt could be used instead of
OpenSSL. In tinc 1.1, some effort was made to allow tinc to be compiled with
different crypto libraries, in particular libgcrypt, but this work is not
complete.
