Not yet.  I'd partition that work in two parts:

 - "Nexus" [3] framework, which could support more than
   just the AVR32 chips.

 - AVR32-specific support.  Probably not just the AP7 devices,
   but also the UC3 flavors (since those seem to be getting
   the engineering work nowadays).

If I understand correctly, the Nexus bits should suffice to
let you update the NOR flash on that board, and you wouldn't
actually need to interact with the CPU.

The simplest way to update the flash on that board would
be to use the U-Boot that's already installed there.  If
you brick the board, the next simplest solution is to use
one of Atmel's JTAG adapters with their tools.  I don't
know if their tools will let you re-flash with anything
short of their $300 JTAGICE mkII product; the $50 Dragon
seems like it ought to suffice.
