cdrecord itself supports ATAPI burners, but the FreeBSD port of cdrecord
does not support ATAPI burners.

That is because there is no mechanism for passing ATAPI commands through to
the device. 

If you want support for ATAPI passthrough, bug Soren about it.  It'll
probably mean putting some special command line option on cdrecord to
select between the FreeBSD SCSI and ATAPI interfaces, since the ATAPI
passthrough support won't be through CAM.

For now, use wormcontrol to burn CDs with an ATAPI burner.
