If you're a TLS server and you just do static RSA, then it is safe to do TLS even without a good source of entropy. On the other hand, if you're doing DHE or you're a TLS client doing static RSA, then it's pretty hard to have a secure system unless you can muster enough entropy to make exhaustive search of the entropy space imdeasible. -Ekr
