Not to the best of my knowledge.

I'm currently having reasonable success with a Puretek USB webcam as 
supported by the graphics/vid port (see 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/graphics/vid/pkg-descr) except 
vid only works if you have a UHCI USB hub (support for vid under an OHCI 
hub isn't in -stable yet) and large pictures seem overexposed, but that 
could be my fault.

For simple webcam use, it seems to work well though.

Try googleing for freebsd and webcam, theres a lot of linux-related 
material out there so you might try the mailing list archives as well.

Good luck!

Andrew.
