  If by "clustering" you mean something like Extreme Linux/Beowulf-class
arrays, not out-of-the-box (AFAIK). If you mean distributing the load of a
network service over a cluster of servers, sure, but this has little to do
with servers' operating system. It has more to do with DNS or routers. An
interesting article on implementing a Web farm w/ Apache and FreeBSD using
DNS:
