You can't use SSL/TLS over UDP due to its unrealiable nature though a draft
standard is being discussed in the ietf-tls mailing list to allow SSL/TLS use
over UDP. OpenSSL doesn't support it though.

It is possible to use SSL/TLS over any reliable transport. To do this with
OpenSSL you can either write a custom BIO (to perform the I/O) or use a BIO
pair (in which case you perform the I/O manually in the application).
