Have you tried the S3 accelerated server? Have you tried the beta version (available from ftp.xfree86.org)? I had to move to the beta series when ATI changed the Mach64 version and the 3.1.2S release didn't support it. This isn't really a question of whether FreeBSD supports it; it's whether XFree86 supports it.
