At the moment I have successfully experimented this solution with Linux Mint 17.X and 18.X Cinnamon and Mate, Ubuntu 14.X, 15.X, 16.X and 17.X, all 64 bit version. The solution here reported is EXPERIMENTAL and need a good experience with Linux and ts installation.

It's not worth the potential hassle to try and use dm-crypt volumes from other systems if you ask me.
TRUECRYPT LINUX FOR MAC OS X
As far as I know, there isn't a FreeOTFE-equivalent for Mac OS X accessing a dm-crypt volume basically requires installing Linux itself. You might run into issues with 64-bit Windows along the way. For Windows, you will need FreeOTFE to mount dm-crypt volumes. dm-crypt comes with every Linux distribution and should work out of the box. On the other hand, dm-crypt is not as portable to other operating systems, but does everything TrueCrypt does and provides the flexibility of using any algorithm the kernel supports. Provided you use a compatible file system (FAT32 works on all of them for sure, NTFS with read-only support for Mac OS X by default, and exFAT support works with Linux with the installation of the exfat-fuse package), you can carry a TrueCrypt container and expect to be able to use it on any of the major operating systems seamlessly.
TRUECRYPT LINUX INSTALL
TrueCrypt support is in dm-crypt 1.6+ now which gives Linux native TrueCrypt support out of the box, but you'll have to have a distribution that includes it or install it yourself. Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux all have a version of TrueCrypt available for download and easy install from. The only thing TrueCrypt gains you is portability.
