Sorry for the latency on the reply. Yes, several students of John Heidemann's at UCLA built a crypto FS; they have also built a compressing FS. John is the guy who built the VFS stacking code for the UCLA FICUS project; it is the code that is used by FreeBSD today. Last time I talked to John, he was wiling to release the code for experimental purposes, so long as you were willing to agree to a non-redistribution waiver. Note that the FreeBSD VFS stacking is still somewhat broken due to cached object duplication in the way FreeBSD deals with vnodes as backing objects, so having the code for a FreeBSD system (as opposed to a BSDI or Solaris system) may not do you much good.
