That is supported in the CentOS 7 version of OpenSSH.  Look at the man
page for sshd_config and you'll see the KexAlgorithms option listed and
its valid values.  You can always see what your exact copy and config of
OpenSSH are using by running "sshd -T".

However, if you set it as above, you would _only_ be able to connect
with that algorithm, and not all SSH clients support that (even for
example OpenSSH on CentOS 6).
