You could have a look at 
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/unlock-geli-partitions-at-boot-through-ssh.96395/ 
and https://github.com/emtiu/freebsd-outerbase

I have my base OS systems unencrypted, but the rest of the disks 
encrypted. On startup my script fetches the key from a different system 
(my local firewall), decrypts the disk and starts the jails (which are 
on the encrypted partition). When my firewall is down (e.g. power loss 
in my house) I need to intervene, however, at least I can ssh into those 
systems and check the status before decrypting the data.

Regards,
Robert
