Mounting an ecryptfs elsewhere

I have an old ecryptfs-encrypted home directory that I'd like to mount on a
new system on a different mountpoint than my home directory. The man pages
are somewhat confusing on this issue, and trying to mount directly with
"sudo mount -t ecrytpdir mountpoint" leads to some unexpected menus about
ciphers--and I really, really don't want to hose this directory by accident.

How should one go about this in a non-destructive way?
