Our backend is already equipped to handle this and now we're starting to focus on getting manufacturer data feeds. If you have a chance, please send me an email to let me know which manufacturers you think we should prioritize (andres@octopart.com).
I nominate Atmel, Microchip, Micrel, Micron, and NXP. I'd suggest prioritize strongly based on what Sparkfun sells because I bet they dominate the market among early adopters.
Also, footprints for as many standard JEDEC components as possible.
