The mpt(4) manpage says:

====
  DESCRIPTION
       The mpt driver provides support for the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT family of
       SCSI and Fibre Channel controllers.

  HARDWARE
      The following controllers are supported by the mpt driver:
 
       ·   LSI Logic 53c1030 (Dual Ultra320 SCSI)
       ·   LSI Logic FC909 (1Gb/s Fibre Channel)
       ·   LSI Logic FC909A (Dual 1Gb/s Fibre Channel)
       ·   LSI Logic FC919 (2Gb/s Fibre Channel)
       ·   LSI Logic FC929, LSI Logic FC929X (Dual 2Gb/s Fibre Channel)

       The SCSI controller chips supported by the mpt driver can be found
       onboard on many systems including:

       ·   Dell PowerEdge 1750
       ·   IBM eServer xSeries 335

It seems fairly clear to me that the LSI 53c1030 SCSI controller is supposed to
work.
