Yes, it supports the second processor via ASMP (SMP in a furture release
as program 
announced on my birthday).  You need to rebuild the kernel and tell it you have
2 processors (in your config file):

processors	2

You can run with the kernel built thusly with only the one processor if
you want.  Then when
the second cpu board comes, shutdown, install, reboot, and go.  (Well,
probably... shutdown, 
install, reboot, shutdown, run diagnostics, reseat the board, smack
it.... then reboot and
go because that's how life it :-) )
