If your other computers and devices in the network shall access the files on the truecrypt container now, you could share the truecrypt drive that's created on your computer when mounting the filecontainer via Network from your computer again.
Files are then stored encrypted on your NAS, but network traffic will run through your computer and then forward to the NAS.
If it's not about simultaneous access you can however mount the container file from every computer that can access the NAS.
