No, but I just got sound working on FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE.
My computer is a Dell Optiplex GX1 with built-in audio hardware
(no sound card added).
The effort seemed trivial, and may apply to your machine.
Please post your results to the list.

This is all I did:

I added this line to the end of my devices section of my kernel
config file at /sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL:
device          pcm

I did:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV snd0

rebuild the kernel and reboot.

cat sorrydave.au > /dev/audio

And it worked.

Also of interest,
% cat /dev/sndstat
