Well, if the hardware device is able to decrypt something (like a pkcs11
token or an OpenPGP smartcard, for example), it's at least possible to
store an encrypted keyfile somewhere accessible at boot, then ask the
token for decryption and feed that to cryptsetup.

I'm not sure if google authenticator and the RSA token you're talking
about fits in that description though.
