Yes (if compiled with TLS support, check the output from
"tin -V 2>&1 | grep TLS" and/or read doc/INSTALL, look for "--with-nntps"),
as stated in the man-page:
tin(1) <http://www.tin.org/bin/man.cgi?section=1&topic=tin>

[...]
       -T          Enable NNTPS (NNTP over TLS). This also overrides the envi-
                   ronment  variable  $NNTPPORT  if  set.  Only available when
                   reading via NNTP.
