CardBUS is supported by FreeBSD under 5-CURRENT.

You can find out more information about what FreeBSD-CURRENT is and how 
to run it on 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

But bear in mind, this kind of development code is not usually to most 
people's tastes, most people value greater stability.

FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE is scheduled for late 2001. But even that is likely 
to only be aimed at early-adopters.

You will need to make your own decision about how long you can or want 
to wait for CardBus support.
