[SLL] is there a good replacement for cfsd?

For many years I've used the Cryptographic File
System's cfsd daemon.  Under RHEL 4, I've needed to
use an obsolete version of mount because mount -o
port=3049, which cfsd requires, no longer works.  
But since my last up2date not even that workaround
has been fruitful; cfsd 1.4.1 no longer seems to be
be 100% conforming.  Its author doesn't seem to have
maintained it for a few years, I don't think.

I'm not seeing a good replacement.  Gpgd doesn't
seem to be supplied with gnugpg, and I can't tell if
gpgd is supposed to do on-the-fly decryption, which
is cfsd's whole purpose.

What non-commercial products will do this?

And what syntax should one now use to obtain the
functionality formerly given by mount -o
port=3049,intr ?
