Well, with a conditional statement that separates the time for the ease from the rest:
driftDirection = degreesToRadians(effect("Drift Over Time")("Direction") - 90);
x_offset = Math.cos(driftDirection);
y_offset = Math.sin(driftDirection);
driftSpeed = effect("Drift Over Time")("Speed (pixels/second)");
easeTime=2;
if (time-inPoint <= easeTime)
{[x_offset,y_offset] * linear(time,0,easeTime,0,driftSpeed) * (time-inPoint)}
else
{[x_offset,y_offset] * driftSpeed * (time-inPoint)};
