There certainly isnt a mention in > the 5.3 Hardware Notes. Nearly any CDRW drive should work. My only suggestions is to advoid liteon. I've seen many problems with liteon drives having problems spining up to speed. I have a DVD+CDRW combo that works nicely. It will flake occasionally if hw.ata.atapi_dma=1. Forget what type and dmesg just shows it as CDRW <ATAPI COMBO48XMAX/VER 1.10>, but it is nice. I also have a nice Toshiba DVDR drive. In dmesg it shows up as DVDR <TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R5272/1030>. It great. Not had any problem with it what so ever. I would really suggest in looking into a drive like this. More room, fast, and pretty cheap now.
