It seems that LUKS is indeed FIPS 140-1 compliant. However it is not FIPS 140-1 certified (and once a specific implementation is, it cannot be changed anymore without losing that certification it seems). AFAIK there are efforts underway to get a specific implementation (RHEL6) certified. If you go into the mailing lost archive at http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt and search for "FIPS", you can find more on this question.
