I do not believe any parallel port devices, other than printers and PL/IP, are supported because of proprietary access methods. THere was a recent posting of a response from Xirxom -- Xircom, in quoted material in the post, said that freeware authors would be provided with information necessary to write drivers for their devices. No such information has been forthcoming from CMS regarding the PL devices... you would have to get the information from them. In addition, since this means that the device is currently unsopported, it is unlikely that anyone else in the BSD camps has one available for testing and/or deriver writing to help you out, which would pretty much put you on your own.
