I'm using something slightly more complicated: a C module that uses XCB to query for the status of caps lock and num lock, and then a Lua module so it's easier to integrate in my rc.lua.
The C module is here: https://github.com/Schnouki/dotfiles/tree/master/awesome/lousy (needs Swig), the Lua module is here: https://github.com/Schnouki/dotfiles/blob/master/awesome/locksmon.lua, and finally my rc.lua is here: https://github.com/Schnouki/dotfiles/blob/master/awesome/rc.lua (look for "locksmon"). It's not perfect (if you press your caps lock / num lock for more than 0.1 second before releasing it, the change won't be displayed correctly -- tweakable in locksmon.lua), but I like it as it avoids spawning a new process just to check for the keyboard status.
