I don't see why not. The only question is whether IPsec sits on top of 
mobility, or mobility sits on top of IPsec. In the latter case you can 
negotiate SAs between all pertinent address pairs and observers will be 
none the wiser.

But I have always been sceptic about the usefulness of mobility in the 
first place. So mobility for people who are paranoid about exposing 
their home address isn't something I really believe in.
