There is a preliminary driver for these cards in current that, 
unfortunately, was written to some experimental SCSI code that I was 
working on at the time.  If you wanted to make it work, you'd have to
"convert" this driver to the "normal" scsi code.  I don't plan on picking
this driver back up until my work on the CAM SCSI layer is complete, so
feel free to play with it:

i386/scsi/advansys.[c,h]
dev/advansys/*
i386/isa/adv_isa.c

If you have a PCI or EISA card, you'll have to write a PCI probe for it 
too.
