Yes, they are supported.  No changes needed to any of the FreeBSD 
versions.  The VIA processors are fully x86 compatible, and are 
considered 'drop in' replacements for Intel's equivalent parts.

Cyrix is long gone, VIA is the parent company that sells them - Centaur 
Technology (the company I work for) designs them.

It probably should be added to the list though. :)
