I don’t know.
If it’s not in the list you will have to try if for yourself.

Yes, basic RADIUS auth will probably work. 
The devil in the details though will be things like whether it sends the 
requests from the AP or the controller (if any) and what it uses as value for 
the NAS-IP-Address attribute.

Nothing that should really prevent you from using it, provided the vendor 
actually supports RADIUS as defined in the RFCs (you’d be surprised what we see 
every day…), but it will take some trial and error.
Run freeradius in debug mode (with -X) to see exactly what the AP/Controller 
sends.

I suggest you create your own module for that.
It should not be too hard. All you need is a perl module in lib/pf/Switch that 
will inherit from pf::Switch.
If all it does is RADIUS then you can probably add the minimal methods required 
(e.g. supportsWirelessMacAuth() ) and be done with it.
See the other existing Switch modules in lib/pf/Switch for examples.

If all else fails, there is the devel mailing list.
