By "talk" do you mean `talk(1)` etc?  If so, then the answer is
no, unfortunately.  I don't believe that `talk` or `ntalk` was
ever a protocol that supported encryption.  Of course, it is
possible that someone created a local variant at some site that
did, but if so, it was not widespread.

If there is specific software that implements those things that
you have in mind, I can't think of any structural reason why it
couldn't be ported to run on FreeBSD.

Whether anyone will actually do so is another matter.
