The resolution, even interlated, will certainly be supported.  The
question is whether or not the video encoding can be supported.  HDTV
sets are no longer coming with DVI in, and the replacement is not an
open standard.

Another common way to get HDTV signals into the TV is analog,
ironically enough, using component video.  We're almost certain to
support component video, and once again the timings are arbitrary.

If you ever wonder if a particular resolution is supported, here's
your answer:  The video controller is programmed via microcode; you
can make it do anything you want, including things that make no sense
or which support unequal scanline lengths, like DPVL.  Need serration
pulses?  No problem.  Need NTSC's half scanlines?  No problem.  :)

Check out the open-graphics forum on kerneltrap.org.  There, I provide
a description of how video will work.
