How does one obtain pkgs (encfs in this case) that are not available
to an `aptitude' search of pkgs for jessie?

It appears that the pkg in question (encfs) is available for wheezy. 

  https://packages.debian.org/stable/encfs

So how to get to it, without jacking up my sources.list or some other
pitfall?

My current sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main
