No, but I believe it should be supported by the sis(4) driver.

See 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sis&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.9-RELEASE&format=html
for more information.

To use the sis(4) driver you also need to have the miibus(4) in your kernel.

It's also worth noticing, for future reference, that you could have 
answered this question for yourself by a simple google search.

Hope that helps and good luck!
