Yes and yes (and partially yes :).

You can jumper your drive to identify itself as drive type 0
(T_DIRECT), and use the sd driver.

There's an `od' driver that has recently posted to a Japanese
newsgroup.  I'm currently in the process of integrating it into the
regular kernel source.

If you're impatient, i can send you what i've got by now, though there
will be some additional changes required (currently being discussed on
the freebsd-scsi list).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
