I  don't know if it is possible to encrypt swap. Even it would be possible you 
might experience bad performance.


 I would also like to know if freebsd supports
 encrypted file systems?

There is an encrypted file system implemented as a user-level NFS server. You 
find it in /usr/ports/security/cfs/.
There is a FreeBSD Diary article at 
http://www.freebsddiary.org/encrypted-fs.php
which shows how to make it work.

It does in 5.0 (man gbde).  There's also the vncrypt port for use with 4.x.
