They work but not like JAWS or NVDA. In VO OS X you press VO+CMD+J to navigate via form controls and then it will focus on the fieldset container and read the legend as the "group"'s accessible name. So "Legend Name, group, with 4 items."

It will NOT speak the legend text when you're tabbing through the form though like JAWS/NVDA.

Firefox/TalkBack on Android support fieldset/legends similarly to NVDA/Firefox.
