Have you thrown a look at tcpcrypt.org which has roughly the same goal, and 
already has a working userland implementation?  Maybe you could get some idea 
on how this could be done by dissecting and / or reusing portions of their 
code?

Or perhaps porting tcpcrypt to fbsd kernel may be a good candidate for a gsoc 
project?
