No support for spot-scanning confocals (i.e., PMT/photodiode based confocals) is included in Micro-Manager.  100xImaging has developed code to operate a two-photon system marketed by Sutter instruments.  It is not likely that Micro-Manager will support spot-scanning confocals from Olympus, Zeiss, Leica and Nikon any time soon, since these systems contain many proprietary components for which no documentation is available.  Moreover, these systems come with dedicated software anyways.  

Camera-based confocals (such as the Yokogawa spinning disk confocal) can be/are supported.

Best,
