There is nothing to stop you telling a client that its swap directory is in /home/swap and just exporting /home. As long as nobody goes and hacks the swap file (you need to out 666 protection on it or give root access to the /home partition), it works fine. Of course, if anyone knows how to patch the swap space, they could walk through your security, but the risk is slight.
