Depends on the NAS and you have to do it right. It is usually far easier to build your own NAS using a conventional PC case, as a lot of NAS hardware requires speical drivers and compiling and installing tools like cryptetup may be complicated. The second problem is that NAS cpus are typically slow and encryption will significantly slow down access. If you use a PC as NAS, current CPUs should be able to do crypto at disk speed or not much below, unless you put in SSDs.
