get your disk out and mount it on a kernel which config support mac fs may
be work .

 I have a 5 year old Mac OS X laptop which died last night -- no lights,
nothing, as if the battery
 and AC line were disconnected.  There's nothing on it which is a disaster
to lose, but there are
 some things I'd like to get off.  Is it possible to plug the drive into a
SATA (?) connector on a
 Linux system and mount it with some encryption loopback setup to get into
my FileVault-protcted home
 dir?

 I do have access to a completely different Mac, and I could probably swap
drives, boot, get the data
 I want, shut down, and restore drives, but I have no idea how well that
would work.

From a casual read through the wiki page on Filevault, you should be
able to get it up and running provided you still have the Master
password. In fact, the age of the install may be an advantage - the
encryption schemes are well understood, and some versions even have
cryptographic weaknesses.

If you are lucky enough to have the 'Sparse Image' variant (from
OS10.4), it may even be possible to recover the majority ov the
content, even if some of it is damaged through disk failure (although
your description sounds more like motherboard / power failure.

As to whether someone has written mount_filevault or not, I've no
idea. Happy googling!
