Export the disk on the backup server with ggated. Bind it on the client
with ggatec. Slap a GELI or GBDE encryption on top of it and then put a
ZFS on top of it.

You can mount/import this "remote" ZFS at will and do your zfs
send/receive on your local box. Nothing ever leaves your box
unencrypted.
