Yes (when mounted under passphrase mode).

I have not had time to write documentation for it yet, but we have a
key module that can bind a wrapping key (FEKEK) to a PCR set.

Relevant source code:
src/utils/ecryptfs_generate_tpm_key.c
src/key_mod/ecryptfs_key_mod_tspi.c

Generate a FEKEK that is bound to a PCR set with the
ecryptfs_generate_tpm_key utility, then mount with the tspi key module
to use that key (specify the key uuid as a module parameter).
