Depends on what you want to be able to do on the clients but multimedia/xbmc also fits in some cases. MythTV can be an UPnP server and XBMC is a very good UPnP client. There is also an mythtv plugin for XBMC but the version in ports only supports mythtv <= 0.23. But there is also an xbmc-devel port available.

MythTV is currently only verified to work with webcamd and several USB devices. So I'm waiting for your results and hope it just works.
