D7 uses PDO as a database backend, and a PDO driver for MS SQL exists:
http://de.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-dblib.php . It appears to be experimental
right now. You need to download it separately and compile or include it in PHP
as an extension.

Drupal does not explicitly support it (as it does MySQL and SQLite), but it
could work with the generic interface, without taking advantage of special features.
