Try a SCSI-SCSI unit like the DAC960SI that works on *ANY* platform. It doesn't require any OS support at all. http://www.mylex.com But first, phone them and ask if they support FreeBSD on their other DAC960 models. When they say "no" make sure to ask them when they will start supporting FreeBSD. If they say something about Linux, make sure to tell them that if Linux drivers are available with "source code" then it can easily be ported to FreeBSD for them.
