Not on a /chaos/control device (the 7300 thru 8600 models).
As to third-party cards, ATI, ixMicro, and Matrox all have models that
work. Just look for any PCI video card that supports MacOS. They all have
Open Firmware drivers, which means that once you:
setenv output-device /path/to/card
you will be able to use that video card.
Have fun,
