Yup, I'm not sure if I am using that or not.  I don't think so but I
don't want to remove it without making sure.  Be my luck it will blow up
or something. lol  This is what equery returns tho:

sys-apps/hal-0.5.13-r2 (kernel_linux & crypt? >=sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.5)
sys-apps/pmount-0.9.20 (crypt? >=sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.5)

Don't get me started on hal.  Is this a USE flag thing?  I need to check
on this more.
