IBM does a twin Xeon box (Intellistation M Pro w/2 Prestonia at 2.2Ghz for example) and I can personally confirm that RedHat 7.2 and SuSE 7.3 go like a rocket on it! Didn't get a chance to turn on the HyperThreading support to see what would happen but that's life.
It's a complete package system so obviously not what you are after but at
least I can confirm that it all works...

I'm drooling at the mental picture of a multi-cpu xeon-based
machine.... I have a source for some xeon CPUs at about 600 MHz
Where can I find a system board to suit several of these?
Do they need special PSUs? (probably depends on the board and the
number of CPUs)
What is SWTX as a board form-factor?
Probably most importantly, how well would linux run on a SMP xeon?
