Yes, it does that by default if you just do:

Map(x => x.YourProperty);

Make sure you're using the latest version off the trunk.

As Yavor Shahpasov pointed out in the comments, in more recent versions you can accomplish the same with:

Map(x => x.Property).CustomType<GenericEnumMapper<YourPropertyEnumType>>();

That was much easier than I imagined! – Chris Conway Feb 02 '09 at 14:34

Apparently FluentNHibernate does not do this by default anymore. – Falcon Feb 01 '11 at 10:41

You can do it like this Map(x => x.Property).CustomType>(); – Yavor Shahpasov Aug 11 '11 at 18:24
