I don’t believe WCF supports GZip encoding using a TCP socket binding, however there is nothing stopping you sending GZiped compressed data over the wire, and manually compressing it using the methods built into the .NET framework: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.compression.gzipstream.aspx.
Before you go down this route however, I would strongly recommend assesing other performance enhancing measures on your TCP services as detailed here: Transmitting the least amount of data over the wire with WCF
