Checkout the Comtrol stuff (www.comtrol.com). We had serious trouble with the quality of the BOCA product. The first one worked fine and then the second one was a bad as were the 3 replacements. The RocketPort stuff has an ISA or PCI card that connects to a box for the 16 ports. We bought the ISA version with the rackmount interface box. I like it a lot since it has activity LEDs for each port. Nice for making sure stuff is happening on the right port. Drivers for FreeBSD are on the web site (or FTP) and I think they are getting rolled into FreeBSD. However for 2.2.5 I think I had patch the kernel with the web site drivers. It also goes up to 230K.
