In FreeBSD we have v4l only for USB devices provided by cuse4bsd/webcamd. So to go forward if you only need to display the raw stream then it's possible to do that but if you want to use some shiny tvheadend/mythtv/vdr/kodi/vlc/... then you'd better buy a USB device which is supported by webcamd. There are some wiki pages on wiki.FreeBSD.org which can give you some overview about that.
