I use geli(8), which is documented here (scroll down past the
alternative gdbe option unless that interests you):
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-encrypting.html

As per the previous response, you will need to keep /boot unencrypted to
allow freebsd to boot, but the rest of the disk can be encrypted with geli,
and zfs running on top of geli.

I actually use it slightly differently. Since I don't care about encrypting
my operating system files, i keep my data storage on a separate partition
or disk, which is encrypted with geli with zfs on top.
