But I believe here is how it is done. BTW-You need admin right to do this and read the TrueCrypt manual about using it on a removable drive.
1. Install TrueCrypt to the root of you drive.
2. Create a TrueCrypt volume large enough to house all of the PortableApps and documents that you want to store.
3. Use TrueCrypt to mount that volume to it's own drive.
4. Copy your PortableApps launcher, PortableApps folder and Documents folder to that to that volume.
5. Have fun.

When I mount TrueCrypt I would like PortableApps to auto launch, but instead I get an explorer window.
You asked how to use Truecrypt with portable apps. What you want is an autorun, but I don't think that is possible after mounting. You would have 1 extra click. Does not seem like much. You could get Truecyrpt to autorun though.

One to open Portable Apps, another to shut the explorer window, and then click the system tray icon. I saw someone open a U3 and when they plugged it in they entered a password then there App. Launcher came up. I was hoping for something like that.
U3 does it with a combination hardware and software hack. It sets up a fake cdrom partition. No one else has this AFAIK.

And I created my own app using AutoIt. It included the following:
RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\..\Truecrypt\Truecrypt.exe")
Run(@ScriptDir & "\..\PortableAppsMenu\PortableAppsMenu.exe")
or you can also include command-line parameters with Truecrypt for example, to make it quiet it would be "truecrypt.exe /q" etc. Now, to specify the path of your volume for quiet mode it would be "truecrypt.exe /v" & @scriptDir & "\..\path_to_volume"
The double-dots \..\ means to go up one folder.
