Linux has support for some hardware RNGs, yes.  I don't know offhand
which ones.  OpenBSD apparently has support for a lot of them.

On some platforms, a hardware RNG actually ends up feeding /dev/ random. This is particularly nice as it means GPG (or any program that uses /dev/random) benefits without code modification.
