I ran across tcplay https://github.com/bwalex/tc-play (via
http://grugq.tumblr.com/post/60464139008/alternative-truecrypt-implementations
)

I haven't tried it yet; I suspect the TrueCrypt software can't read
LUKS encrypted storage directly, and I don't know if tcplay can
read/write TrueCrypt's Full Disk Encryption or the hidden FDE.
