 From my personal experience with a Dell machine with just Xeon 
processor under RH9 , the anaconda installer detects the "two" cpus and 
installs the SMP kernel... The machine I installed had a stock smp 
kernel  and it detected the "two" processors (one of them being the 
logical processor created by Hyperthreading).... So , the answer is 
yes.. the stock SMP kernel has support to hyperthreading .. (btw, it 
only has to support SMP and ACPI to support Hyperthreading , as I found 
out when compiling a custom kernel).
