It has been done before.

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/userfs/userfs.lsm describes a
patch/kernel module for kernel 1.2.10, 1.3.13 and 2.0.30.

I vaguely remember that some more resen suggestion was to implement it
with the some usper-space nfs-deamon.

That's is one of the things the loop device offers. For better
encryption than XOR you need the patches from kerneli.org.

(Remember the problems whith crypto code in the US is mainly with
exporting it neither importing or using it.)
