It depends what side of the sound card you are looking at, the physical interface with external devices or the userspace interface. PDM can be supported at the physical interface level as long as there is a conversion to PCM somewhere in the hardware. Userspace will play/record PCM. See examples in many codecs and SOCs. There is also the possibility of packing PDM (aka DSD) as pseudo-PCM, that's a trick used by several USB cards. In that case of course the sound card cannot apply any processing to the data and is just a pass-through module.
