I am using this board for development of the SMP kernel, works fine:
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor motherboard
 cpu0 (BSP): apic id: 0, version: 0x00030010
 cpu1 (AP):  apic id: 1, version: 0x00030010
 io0 (APIC): apic id: 2, version: 0x00170011

It is a triton-II chipset.

yes, from my SMP dmesg:

ahc0 <Adaptec aic7880 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 19 on pci0:12
Freeing (NOT implimented) irq 9 for ISA cards.
ahc0: aic7880 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs
