For the extent that omapfb offers it (well, at least the driver
present on the Nokia kernel for N8x0), yes.

The DPMS support is implemented in:
  http://cgit.pingu.fi/xf86-video-omapfb/tree/src/omapfb-driver.c#n728

and as the comments indicate, I only saw on/off settings in the omapfb
kernel driver. The xf86-video-fbdev tries to set the standby and
suspend modes and fails (you'll get some "ioctl failed" message about
it), but can't remember if it manages to blank it properly for off (I
suppose so).

To circumvent that, I opted for simply setting the VESA_POWERDOWN mode
for all of the standby, suspend and off modes. The plan is to adjust
the brightness for at least standby, maybe even for suspend, so you
can use DPMS to do the usual "dim quickly, turn off later" pattern.
