I just did that on wl-500gP v1 with custom rtn firmware (2.6.22.19, you can grab it here - http://wl500g.googlecode.com) with additional modules + compiled cryptsetup (which was the difficult part for me actually) cryptsetup_1.4.3-1_mipsel.ipk
1) So you'd need to build custom firmware with altered src/gateway/Makefile (to install aes.ko, cryptoloop.ko, sha256.ko, dm-mod.ko & dm-crypt.ko) & modify kernel config as well to build them
2) Install cryptsetup package (from the link I gave - dependencies will be installed automagically from Oleg's optware repository)

Another thing you might take into consideration is that encrypting it via the router is a terribly slow process. I don't quite expect speeds above 1MB/s
some info on dm-crypt:

Yes, it's terribly slow to copy something into the container, but you can use it as a secure storage for router configuration for example. But I'm not sure if speeds would be slow on Netgear. I reckon it's bit better than 500gP.
Code:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=1 bs=1M count=20
20+0 records in
20+0 records out
20971520 bytes (20.0MB) copied, 45.423548 seconds, 450.9KB/s
What would you expect from this hardware? Needs better CPU / more memory
