No, but you can add any kernel-specific filesystem and let it fail on runtime
(via PMOUNT_UNKNOWNFS) if such filesystem is not supported in the kernel
you're currently running.
For example, it knows about "procfs_linux" already. This filesystem is
supported by the Linux backend (which maps it to "proc") and the kFreeBSD
backend (which maps it to "linprocfs", IIRC), but it's not essential for new
backends to support it as well.
