I saw this article from SC Magazine, about the US Government building secure phones with off the shelf Android components.
The NSA page about the secure phones with Secure VoIP is here http://www.nsa.gov/ia/programs/mobility_program/index.shtml
While this PDF spells out the requirements http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/Mobility_Capability_Pkg_%28Version_1.1U%29.pdf
Supposedly anyone could build something similar from these specifications, though I think it would take a bit of work, a certain minimum skill level, not to mention some specific knowledge and funds.
Also a key part to this working with Android phones is a clean vetted app store, not sure how many people would have one of those in their basement.
But I am sure some computer, Ham, & cryptography geeks will try their hands at this.
