Theoretically, there could be license issues if a GPL program wanted to link with a libcurl version which links with OpenSSL - and OpenSSL is incompatible with the GPL. But in practice that's not a problem: Pure GPL packages (i.e. without any OpenSSL exception in the license) can just explicitly depend on the libcurl-gnutls variant.
