Not according to the driver documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2254/marvell88sx-7d
"In addition, the 88SX6081 device supports the SATA II Phase 1.0
specification features, including SATA II 3.0 Gbps speed, SATA II Port
Multiplier functionality and SATA II Port Selector. Currently the
driver does not support native command queuing, port multiplier or
port selector functionality."

The driver source isn't available (or I couldn't find it) so it's not
easy to confirm.

Both the LSI chipsets implement SAS, which can support SATA. Since SAS
supports TCQ, it's at lease conceivable that NCQ support was added for
SATA. I looked at the mpt_sas driver code a bit and didn't see
anything, but I'm not sure if the TCQ -> NCQ conversion is transparent
to the driver, or if it's handled in the scsi drivers, etc.
