The closet thing I've seen is TCFS, the
Transparent Cryptographic File System
Do a web search for it ,or go to
http://mikonos.dia.unisa.it/tcfs/tcfs-faq.html
If you want a "homebrew system", you can make
iso9660 filesystems, mount them as loop devices , then
encrypt them when you are done. It is clunky, but
you are secure in the knowledge that you choose
the encryption method.
Or you can just "cat" whole partitions to big files,
then encrypt them, with the method of your choosing.
