I come from the Linux world, and I am only experimenting in FreeBSD since a while. In Linux, I am using my own script with "afio" , "cdrecord" (for CDs) and recently "growisofs" (for DVDs). Everything is on the ports here so I think you will be able to setup them in freebsd without trouble. If you need more info, I can send you my script (very simple, written in bash) so that you can use it and modify as you need.
