Though I suppose you already know, we have mac partition and HFS support
now.  We even have port/audio/gtkpod and gnupod in ports collection.

Get and install HFS+ support from http://people.freebsd.org/~yar/hfs/.
# kldload geom_apple
# kldload hfs
# mount -u simokawa -g simokawa /dev/da0s3 /mnt/ipod
% gtkpod
# umount /mnt/ipod
# camcontrol eject 0:0:0

If you want mount ipod again, try the following command.
# camcontrol load 0:0:0

Of course, we have EHCI driver too ;-)
