There are some turnkey WPA APs that -integrate- with a back end RADIUS server. However, per http://kerneltrap.org/Quote/WPA_Supp...omment-298955:

....802.1X is a completely separate protocol, described in a different standard, and was first designed for wired interfaces.

The fact that WPA *can* use 802.1X as its key management protocol does not make them one and the same....
From an OpenBSD perspective, the most recent comments I can find were in this misc@ thread: http://marc.info/?t=122418546800002&r=1&w=2 -- it looks like the answer is -No-. Looking at some work mentioned on tech@, and looking at committed patches that mention 802.1x between 2005 and 2009, it looks like some knobs and hooks for drivers that touch 802.1x compliant hardware are in place, but nothing more.
