I wish I knew, Damien stopped developing for FreeBSD cause of disagreements with other developers (he says something about it in a kerneltrap interview if i remember rightly. Luca Morettoni one of the Freesbie developers said he'd have a look at it last time i sent a link to it to one of the freebsd lists, but I havent heard more since then. Sadly I'm not a coder and wouldnt know where to start with it myself.
