MD5 is not allowed in a FIPS environment - if your custom modules use it then you will need to update them. There are a few places in DotNetNuke where it's optionally used such as the the filebased caching provider where the solution is to use an alternative (in this case the webbased caching provider is ideal) but in general DotNetNuke works in FIPS environments. Note: at present in 6.1.x releases there is a FIPS issue with the client resource manager that we are working to resolve.

for switching caching methods you'll need an appropriate caching provider. DNN Community just comes with file based caching, there are other caching providers in PE and in the Store.
