Question:

If I buy an AM3+ motherboard, will it be able to process bulldozer?

If I buy an AM3+ motherboard right now, will it be able to handle the new bulldozer processors?It's on sale you see :P

Answer:

Yes, AM3+ is made specially for the Zambezi Bulldozer CPU's. List of Zambezi CPU's: FX-8170 FX-8150 FX-8120 FX-8100 FX-6120 FX-6100 FX-4120 FX-4100 AM3+ however is going to be short lived, because Bulldozer will have a shelf life of 6 months before AMD will introduce yet another socket and a second generation of Bulldozer. The 2nd generation of Bulldozer processors will not work on AM3+.
