In general, the complement of a context-free language is not context-free. However, LL(k) languages are a strict subset of the deterministic CFLs.

The complement of a DCFL is also a DCFL, because it can be recognized by the same deterministic push-down automaton, just with the "accept" and "reject" states swapped.

So the answer to your question appears to be "yes, in fact it is deterministic context-free."
