There is an SMP kernel under development. As there is one for Linux. But neither system has this as the core kernel line and neither is finished or robust. So the answer is 'no'. If you want SMP, you get NT, UnixWare, or Solaris. Or OS/2 if you really insist. Others might view it as a 'yes', but until its standard and has enough miles under its belt, I think that's naive.
