Just in case anyone was wondering how to do this too, here's how I did it:

I recompiled my kernel after patching with loop-AES:
http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net

Next, I patched linux-utils with loop-AES and rebuilt "losetup" to support
256-bit AES.

Now I can mount my Knoppix home directory:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
losetup -e aes256 /dev/loop0 /mnt/usb/knoppix.img
mount /dev/loop0 /home/myhomedirhere

I then modified /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (Fedora) to do this during boot.
