To a certain extent yes, people around here are using all types of motherboards with few problems. The general consenses still seems to be Asus from a quality standpoint. I've personally used Soltek and Gigabyte in addition to the Asus, besides %50 of my Gigabyte boards going bad there has been no FreeBSD-related issues. They've all worked fine. You may have to worry about the UDMA stuff, but since I use only SCSI I've never run into those problems.
