cryptsetup-reencrypt seams worth a look.

I've added the attached ebuild to my local overlay.

It is available via layman, if you want to test it.

New version is available - http://cryptsetup.googlecode.com/files/cryptsetup-1.5.1.tar.bz2

Cryptsetup 1.5.1 Release Notes
Changes since version 1.5.0

    The libcryptsetup library now tries to initialize device-mapper backend and loop devices only if they are really needed (lazy initializations).
    This allows some operations to be run by a non-root user. 

    (Unfortunately LUKS header keyslot operations still require temporary dm-crypt device and device-mapper subsystem is available only to superuser.) 

    Also clear error messages are provided if running as non-root user and operation requires privileged user. 

    Veritysetup can be now used by a normal user for creating hash image to file and also it can create hash image if doesn't exist.
    (Previously it required pre-allocated space.) 

    Added crypt_keyslot_area() API call which allows external tools to get exact keyslot offsets and analyse content. 

    An example of a tool that searches the keyslot area of a LUKS container for positions where entropy is low and hence there is a high probability of damage is in misc/kesylot_checker.
    (Thanks to Arno Wagner for the code.) 

    Optimized seek to keyfile-offset if key offset is large. 

    Fixed luksHeaderBackup for very old v1.0 unaligned LUKS headers. 

    Various fixes for problems found by several static analysis tools.
