Not directly & comprehensively, no.

This is largely because a working system includes much more than
the CPU--so whether the CPU's supported or not doesn't mean really
anything about whether a machine is supported.  That and there are
a reasonably large number of variants of different CPUs that probably
work fine or would be approximately trivial to add.  ...and no one's
taken the time to gather a list of which do work.  You can get a
pretty good clue by looking at some of the source files in the
kernel, though.  Did you have a specific one in mind?
