no - unfortunately FDO does not support DWG files --> see http://themapguyde.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-2010-mapguidefdo-wishlist-revisited.html (item 6)
I guess Autodesk regards DWG as their "crown jewels" and therefore does not support OS developement around DWG. There is a FDO/OGR bridge, but unless FDO has some advantages over OGR - why should one use it? DWG support in FDO would be one reason to look into FDO.
