Some of the payment gateway modules support it, and others don't. I've used it with Verisign. To find out which others (more or less):

    grep -rl CVV2 lib/Vend/Payment

However, a big warning: Do not ever save the number unencrypted to disk. In fact, you're not supposed to save it to disk at all, even encrypted, according to most credit card company contracts. Some I've read say they will cancel your account immediately if they find out you've saved the CVV2 number, even if encrypted.

The only way it's supposed to be used is passed in real-time from the user to the payment gateway, which returns a code saying whether it matched or not. But you're really not supposed to save it for future use, even for the sale in question.
