Yes, support for 386s was dropped near version 6 I believe. You could use such a version, or if you want a Unix-like on a 8088 or 80286 without proper memory protection, use ELKS. Although for a proper experience, I would just use DOS and forget about multitasking. DOS is blazing fast on a 386.
Of course, the real question is what to do with such machines once you get an OS running on them.
