Not at the moment.  The information is available, at least on the
x1950, however, no one has written the code yet to do it.  The type of
sensor and i2c information is available in the power mode tables in
the bios.  There are drivers in the kernel for most of the sensor
chips used on these cards.  So with the radeon kms code, someone just
needs to write the code to set up the i2c bus and load the appropriate
driver.
