Indeed, just installed on a customer's server last night, and I build SMP support into the GENERIC kernel this morning. Only issues I encountered has to do w/ recognizing the full 4GB of RAM, but this apparently has some compatibility issues w/ the amr driver.
As per Holger's comments about disabling USB in BIOS, this is a good suggestion, since the DRAC apparently causes some IRQ issues w/ the PS/2 keyboard controller, or something along those lines. Regardless, these 2850 boxes are stupid fast, and I'm looking forward to benchmarking 5.3 on them.

Subject: Can FreeBSD be installed on DellPowerEdge2800 ?
Yes
Anybody did this?
Yes.
Any help is appreciateed?
Boot from FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-CD and install. No problems so far. You might want to disable USB within BIOS, though, because they seem to be shared with other critical devices (nics and raidcontroller). But I don't use USB anyway. Then you might want to upgrade to 5-STABLE. This is on Dell PowerEdge 2800 with 2GB ECC RAM, 4 x 36GB SCSI and amrd-Controller (PERC-4-something). Binary copy of SAP 4.6C and Oracle 8 (from a working installation on FreeBSD 4.x) works nearly without changes (using emulators/linux_base-suse-9.1 and one additional rpm (some compatibility-thing)).
