No, not right out of the box. But there is hope :) For any i386 kernel-image
i'm going to provide override packages, which replaces loop.o with an
IV-patched loop.o, which is neccessary for cryptoapi. Further I will provide
precompiled cryptoapi-core and cryptoloop debian packages for i386.

Be patient, you should be able to apt-get cryptoapi support for woody in
about a 1-2 weeks without the need to touch any source code.
