While is possible (in some configurations) to build kernel module separately with the help of simple makefile and some kernel headers, it is not the way dmcrypt should be used. The reason is that code is directly dependent on internal kernel structures and also requires some other config options (like device-mapper infrastructure, kernel crypto API and particular kernel block layer settings). The dmcrypt is included in the mainline kernel, there is no need for separate source tarball, just use mainline kernel source (drivers/md/dmcrypt.c is the module core). Your distro must have these sources available if they are distributing binaries (it is GPL code), so you can always compile modules from it.
