AFAIK ReceiveFax does work on T.38 and non-T.38 channels, it is
transparent to the dialplan. ReceiveFax detects if the channels switched
to T.38 and takes care of it.
T.38 passthrough also works.
T.38 Gatewaying is not supported yet. If you need it you can try the
patch from the bugtracker:

I needed to get rid of PickupChan and thus use Pickup() and the pseudo
context PICKUPMARK. Works well for me (1.4).
E.g.:
// incoming call
Set(_PICKUPMARK=${EXTEN});
Dial(....);
//pickup call
Pickup(${EXTEN}@PICKUPMARK);
