Well, probably. But as I haven't got an example here I can't say for sure.
I suggest you web-search to track down the basic design of your mobo. At the moment I have only test-installed Jag on to my Pismo PowerBook (which is of course a supported design). However, I've ordered a Radeon 7000 PCI to try in a six-slot 9500 under Jag. Since the six-slot Tsunami machines have no built-in-vid anyway, there's no disadvantage in trying out a better PCI graphics card than the one which Apple originally supplied. Reports on xlr8yourmac are a bit mixed. However, most people are trying the hack on three slot Macs of various vintages. I suspect that all of these might suffer from PCI saturation if there are additional cards competing for bus-time with the Radeon PCI. My hunch is that if the Radeon PCI card gets its own bus controiller in a six-slot Mac it will behave a tad better. We shall see.
