I don't know what's its current status.
At least "wpa_supplicant" lists WPS as a supported feature:
http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/
***
Supported WPA/IEEE 802.11i features
(...)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
***
But user-space tools (like NM, wicd...) also need to know how to deal
with it and it seems it is still "on progress", at least for NM:
