Ok, the kernel module is there:

itrepofrmt01 root mnt/Server # rpm -q -l -p kernel-2.6.18-194.el5.i686.rpm | grep -i ilo
/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/kernel/drivers/misc/hpilo.ko

This kernel is also provided by the hp-ilo rpm from HP. This rpm also provides
a source code to rebuild the module. So it could be used to port it to FreeBSD.
But the ilo module is not the only thing to manage a HP server. There are
other programs and items, which make the whole management suite. But for the
other stuff, not everything is provided with source.
