Bitbanging *onewire* requires no additional chip and is done through a configureable GPIO on the Raspberry Pi. In addition, the w1 kernel driver can make use of a ds2482(-100, -800,83,84) on any of the existing i2c buses. Of course, the w1 system does not bitbang at all in that case, but makes use of the bcm2708's i2c subsystem. Actually, it would do that on any board, too. Some laptops have internal hardware connected the onewire bus which was the original cause to have this w1 kernel driver, I think.
