No.

    Distributions. Since the FIPS build process, recommends the integrity checks

    Is recommended ? 

I do not know if you can mix and match FIPS implementations. I know that you cannot change anything in the OpenSSL code (for example, to call "out and over" to someone else's implementation).

It seems that the most straightforward way is to use one of those implementations that has the algorithms you need.

OpenSSL is working on a new validation, no details (such as specific algorithms) are available yet.
