A better way would be to start selling self-encrypting drives with Apple products and bundle WinMagic's SecureDoc or create their own simple certificate/password management system (runs under OS X Server of course!).
Incidentally, WinMagic says any update (10.6.x) doesn't require the disk to be unencrypted but upgrades (10.x) do. I updated my two Macs and everything is still working. I am not using SecureDoc's software encryption, however, so it's a different deal but using SED's is a solution more people should investigate.
btw: Seagate received their FIPS 140-2 approval for the Momentus SEDs
