Depends on how much functionality from OpenSSL you need.  For some
basic things, include <gnutls/openssl.h>, and see if it works.  Make
sure you use AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS_EXTRA for autoconf, or
libgnutls-extra-config --cflags/--libs otherwise.

If it doesn't, chances are you need to apply hacks.  In that case,
there are enough examples of applications that use gnutls.
