Yes. All kernels in the 2.6 series have support for SATA (though the distributor may not have compiled them in). The later 2.4 kernels also have SATA support, but many distributions (Damn Small Linux is the only current one that uses a 2.4 kernel anymore) don't have it compiled in.
Almost all modern desktop distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc...) have support for SATA built-in.

You should check the exact type of your SATA drives, and what cables they require, on their website: SATA drives come as SATA-1 and SATA-2, and also as E-SATA [external SATA], I believe. The cables may be different, check it out on Wiki or your mfrs site. cheers!
