it might work. you need to do

1) find out USB vendor ID and device ID of your device
2) try to add these IDs to the list in ng_ubt.c under
    /sys/netgraph/bluetooth/drivers/ubt/
3) rebuild and reinstall your kernel
3) and attach your USB device and see what happens

sure. i'm using it all the time. the problem is that all userland
stuff still not connected to the build. you will need to build
it manually. is is located under /usr/src/usr.{s}bin/bluetooth.

you also will need to download, build and install ports that
implements SDP and RFCOMM.

thanks,
max
