Westinghouse makes a dimmer that will work on any CFL, dimming or not dimming.
One word of warning on CFLs: frequent switching off and on reduces their life considerably. They say don't use them in closets; rather use incandescents. I question that. We have a 24" flourescent fixtures in our closets that have been in service since 1996 and are still going strong. Also, it's against code to use incandescents in closets unless they are encased.
BTW, all Energy Star CFLs are dimmer compatible.
