No, OVS has no built-in support for SSM, though you might be able to
implement it with an OpenFlow controller.  But are you actually using
Open vSwitch as your last-hop router?  (More commonly OVS is used as a
switch.)  That article says that only the last-hop router needs to
support SSM, so if that is correct and you aren't using OVS as your
last-hop router then OVS is the wrong place to look for support.
