Well, yes and no. If you are asking whether Foobar supports the mms:// protocol then the answer would be no I'm afraid. If you are asking whether you can play radio stations in Foobar then the answer would be yes.
As long as there is a direct location from which you can stream you can add it in Foobar. (add location --> add the url there)
An example of an URL that will work in Foobar is:
http://kexp-mp3-128k.cac.washington.edu:8000/
Sadly this is a 128kbps link for mp3. The wma links for this radio station are using the mms:// protocol which you can not play in Foobar.
There is however another way to get these streams to play in Foobar which is to rip the original streams with something like the stream ripper and then convert them to a protocol/ file format which Foobar can play. Quite the hassle though.
This is getting a bit off-topic for this topic btw.
Edit: Note the beginning of the URL. It is using the http:// protocol.
