i386 EFI booting status/roadmap?

Hallo!

I'm considering using one of the new intel Xserve macs for a  
replacement server.   I was googling for support for booting FreeBSD  
off of EFI and only found posts saying it couldn't be done, but all  
of those were over 7 months old.

1)  Is it still the case that one cannot boot i386 FreeBSD on EFI (w/ 
o bootcamp)?
2)  Is this currently being worked on, and if so, is there a known  
timeline?

Thanks for the update and hopefully I'm not asking something that has  
been beaten to death.
