There isn't much support if any in open source tools, if free means free software.

There's few open source tools for any HDL full stop.

Indeed I'd say SystemVerilog is doing better on that front, as Verilator (https://www.veripool.org/verilator/) supports SystemVerilog and is probably the best open source tool for 'real' HDL work (note the number of industrial users).

I didn't mean open source, no, and it looks like the free version of yosys has limited support of systemverilog.

What I meant were the free toolchains provided by all of the FPGA vendors. They typically support SystemVerilog in synthesis and modelsim as far as I have seen.
