Not directly.  The format is SGML, but tagged according to the
linuxdoc DTD.  This provides for easy conversions to LaTeX for
printed documentation, HTML for on-line, and ascii text the
"web-less" people.  Texinfo should be pretty easy to add but has
not been done yet. 

Your help with the doc project is welcome!  If you have not
already, subscribe to the freebsd-doc mailing list and point your
WWW browser at http://www.freebsd.org/~jfieber/FAQ to get an idea
of where we are headed.
