This isn't provided as one of the standard options in bsdinstall.

However, you can set it up by booting the install media into Live CD
mode, and doing the disk partitioning, encryption setup and so forth by
hand.  It's a bit tedious, but not really difficult, so long as you know
how to work commands like gpart(8) and newfs(8).
