For the client though we use Ubuntu with idjc and Jack. Probably Jack works well on FBSD (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/audio/jack_mixer/) and you could run everything on a single node, but from my experience with Jack on Linux, it probably ain't gonna be easy. Nevertheless, the _usual_ way is having your *cast daemon on a server with ample bandwidth and the client(s) is separate node. For us, the Icecast FBSD server + idjc/Jack on Linux is a great combination but YMMV.
