Is it possible to encrypt a /home partition on F23 without losing the

Possible, yes.  Supported?  No.

If you trust the author, you might be able to convert a single
filesystem in-place to LUKS.  The result will not resemble the manner in
which Anaconda (the Fedora installer) creates encrypted filesystems.
Anaconda will, by default, encrypt a volume group.

The recommended process is to do a fresh install with encryption, and
then restore data from backup.
