Do they support Mac-Based Auth + 802.1X on the same port?
In a (very) weird way. It's not mac auth + 802.1x but mac auth *in* 802.1x (mac address is sent as user/pass - requires registry hacking on XP). And then you can re-authenticate with username/pass. There is also something called mac authentication bypass for 802.1x. If enabled switch will do mac auth if it doesn't get EAPOL packet from the supplicant. So, in a matter of speaking, you can have mac auth and (probably should say or - the idea is to be able to connect something that doesn't do 802.1x, like a network printer) 802.1x on the same port.
