Broadcom claims on the website 8PSK support for the BCM4500 chipset, 
maybe they use it on one of the US satellite PCI cards. Zarlink claims a 
DSS compatible mode for it's MT312 and the new ZL10312. Since I don't 
know what modulation modes DSS specifies I can't tell you whether it's 
BPSK, 8PSK or anything else. The MT312 is used at least on some of the 
Skystar2 cards, don't know if you can get them running with one of the 
US transmitters.

Beside this a quick google search turned up these results:

LSI's L64754 can handle all these modes:

Alps announced a 8PSK tuner module:

ST's successor of the stv0299, the stv0499 provides 8PSK and QAM16 
support: http://us.st.com/stonline/press/news/year2002/p1112p.htm.

probably you will find more when you try a more extensive search.
