I have, it works.  Attaching via usb in the proper mode should attach
the umodem device which you can then use the published serial device
with the userland ppp(8).   Defining the correct section name for
tethering can be a little daunting however.

Google for things like 'telstra GSM ppp.conf' or such and then you just
have to convert any linux scripts you find into freebsd ppp.conf.   If
you're lucky you may find freebsd specific configurations.  Or, someone
on the list may have one to share.
