You should really check out the handbook. I did this same thing on tuesday
and was done in under an hour. There's a whole chapter called "Sound".
Here's a quote and link to the Sound section called "Creating and Testing
the Device Nodes": 

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x14152.html

-mark

---------------------------------------------------------------------

    # cd /dev
    # sh MAKEDEV snd0

If the command returned pcm1, follow the same steps as shown above,
replacing snd0 with snd1.

       Note: The above commands will not create a /dev/snd device!

MAKEDEV will create a group of device nodes, including:
 Device
                Description
 /dev/audio
                SPARC-compatible audio device
 /dev/dsp
                Digitized voice device
 /dev/dspW
                Like /dev/dsp, but 16 bits per sample
 /dev/midi
                Raw midi access device
 /dev/mixer
                Control port mixer device
 /dev/music
                Level 2 sequencer interface
 /dev/sequencer
                Sequencer device
 /dev/pss
                Programmable device interface

If all goes well, you should now have a functioning sound card. If you do
not, read the next section.
