I know of a method to encrypt a tar.gz archive while creating it (not sure if it's a recommend one):
tar -czvf /path/to/save/archive.tar.gz -C /path/to/archive . |
openssl des3 -salt -k #PASSWORD# | dd of=archive
The problem is that I have some large existing archives that I'd like to encrypt also, but I'm not sure if that is possible without re-archiving everything?

You can encrypt any existing file with the same encryption tool and options, using standard shell redirection. For example:
openssl des3 -salt -k #PASSWORD# < oldfile.tar.gz > newfile.tar.gz
if you want to replace the old file with the new encrypted version, then:
openssl des3 -salt -k #PASSWORD# < oldfile.tar.gz > newfile.tar.gz && mv -f newfile.tar.gz oldfile.tar.gz
