There is CFS - Cryptographic Filesystem - which uses a local NFS server running on the loopback network interface to provide encryption. I wouldn't use it as /home, though - I found it had some NFS locking problems with certain applications, and that would make it fairly painful to use as a desktop. Instead, I'd set it up in a separate area and move anything sensitive in there. Under Debian, at least, it's packaged and a very simple install. Not sure about other distros. Doesn't require any reformatting.
