No, VT82C694Z is the north-bridge and wont do any UDMA,
only Memory-Bus, AGP 4x and such things :)

But the south-bridge VT82C686Z does UDMA66 with the
approriate hardware:

pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0
[...]
isab0: <VIA 82C686 PCI-ISA bridge> at device 4.0 on pci0
isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0
atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port 0xd800-0xd80f at device 4.1 on pci0
[...]
ata0-master: success setting up UDMA4 mode on VIA chip
ad0: <WDC WD205BA/16.13M16> ATA-4 disk at ata0 as master
ad0: 19574MB (40088160 sectors), 39770 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA66
ad0: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=4 cblid=1


This is a ASUS CUV4X on FreeBSD 4.1R, stable as a rock.
