Sure it does :-)
I added support for it to get my board working, and the OpenPIC code has been
in the official 2.1.x tree for months (find -name "openpic*"). I wrote it to
the specs, not only caring about PPC but also about other CPUs, so it should be
rather easy to get it working on an Intel SMP (assumed you have a board with an
OpenPIC).

I have a CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform) PPC board. It's
uniprocessor. But due to the killing of CHRP by Apple in Sep 1997 you will
never be able to buy such a board, unless you order a bunch of 1000+.
