Yes, I think so.
We are just now starting to get some feedback on the assembler support.

but maybe also not that hard :-)
I would suggest you create a simple hello-world project consisting of only 
once C file with Visual Studio, and then create an identical project, but 
with one additional assembler file. Then compare the project files Visual 
Studio has generated.
With that information then go into 
CMake/Source/cmGlobalVisualStudio*Generator.cxx abd 
cmLocalVisualStudio*Generator.cxx
