Yes. (You have to load instrument data with sbiload before using it.)

Neither the MPU port nor the FM synth are there.

Put the following line anywhere in you modules.conf (if there is
already a line beginning with "options snd-ymfpci", simply add these

	options snd-ymfpci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388

but the options aren't really explained.
