Nathan,
I just did a Fedora install of my new laptop. When I setup the disk partitions, there was an option to encrypt a whole partition. I did so for my /home1 partition. When it booted, it asked for the passphase for my /home1 partition.
There is a GENTOO How-to page on it at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Encrypt_Your_Home_Directory_Using_LUKS_and_pam_mount that explains how it is done.
Something you might want to look into.
