Technically the phrase "Whom is this for" is the grammatically correct version of this statement, but in modernized English there are a fair amount of people who don't know the difference between "who," and "whom." So in a casual situation, or when talking informally, the phrase "Who is this for" is acceptable--enough, but not only do you sound more intelligent when you use the word "whom" correctly, but also it's the correct way of using the language.

Simply, it is not technically correct, but in a casual situation, it is acceptable.
