Well, in a ``normal'' situation cgdconfig(8) does not need to
generate random bits while configuring a disk.  This is only done
if you ask it to generate a random key.  For that, you can use
/dev/urandom although I would be rather uncomfortable doing that
and restrict use of randomly generated keys on boot to machine with
hardware random number support.
