Ghostscript 6.01 (in the ports) seems to include an oldish Epson Stylus
driver but doesn't say which models it's compatible with. There
seems to be something about a uniprint profile for the 740.

Also, Gimp-Print (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net) lists several
Epson Stylus printers, but not the 760. This is intended
for use with the Gimp, but they also have an Epson Stylus driver
which they've written for use with Ghostscript. 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gdevstp700/?cvsroot=gimp-print

I've never tried these. YMMV.

Rahul.
