It looks like target mode is covered in section 11 of the CAM-2 spec and section 12 of the CAM-3 spec. In any case, FreeBSD does support target mode. The only chips it currently works for are the Adaptec 7890/1 and 7896/7. It may also work on the 7895, although I'm not positive about that. (Justin would know.) Those are the only Adaptec chips with the instruction space needed to fit the target mode Adaptec firmware.
