It's not so much compatibility with FreeBSD, but compatibility with UPS 
management software like Network UPS Tools.  NUT maintains an extensive 
list of UPS compatibility and which drivers work in which OSes.  I'm not 
aware of any other general UPS management suites, but I would hope they 
maintain similar lists.
