I don't know of any phones that support IPSec.  Asterisk would support it
because it runs on Linux and Linux has IPSec, the applications don't care
about it.

I have successfully configured a Linksys WRT54GL with OpenVPN, connected
that to the home network, and connected a phone to that.  With the phone
connecting over the OpenVPN.  Works just fine.
