There's a driver, libraries, viewers? A lot of different librarties for quickcam were written, and most of them work on FreeBSD. My qcread (http://phobos.illtel.denver.co.us/pub/qcread/README.html) was originally written for Linux and works on FreeBSD. -- Alex P.S. Yes, Quickcam is slow and rather pain in the ass to program for, but I've managed to make reasonably light on resource streaming webcam (about 1 fps, color camera can't send 320x240 faster) that is continuously working on PPro 200 box with FreeBSD that happens to be my main development box at work, and 2 cameras with 0.1 fps (one color and one b&w) on my 486dx2-80 Linux box at home.
