TLS/SNI support is enabled if you build nginx "--with-http_ssl_module"
and if you have an recent enough version of OpenSSL on your system. I
don't think OpenSSL is recent enough on RHEL/CentOS 5.x but should be in
6.x.

If you exclude Windoze XP and older, and older versions of MacOS, it is
fairly widely supported. I think the biggest problem is the still large
installed base of XP.

the Wikipedia reference but it seems accurate as of this writing).
