Not at the moment; but it's intended to allow ModemManager to handle these modems too. Unfortunately I get about 30x more requests for mobile broadband stuff than for 56k dialup support... anybody is welcome to help out with patches; it probably wouldn't even be that hard since most of these modems don't need a ton of initialization, and then you just dial. What's slightly hard is detecting old-school serial modems connected to platform serial ports. USB modems should be OK.
