We need some guidance knitting together FreeBSD 4.1 + KAME IPsec VPN 
+ Powercrypt board for central VPN gateway.

Basically, is it doable?  Has anybody done it?  or do we just go OpenBSD?

While quoting the price, Brian/Powercrypt added this comment:

"Regarding FreeBSD:  Please note that the driver that we have available is a
generic encryption driver.  It does not perform IPSec functions. I just want
to make sure that I tell you this before you decide to purchase.   IPSec is
performed in OpenBSD because they created their drivers and incorporated it
into the o/s."

So, is FreeBSD VPN / IPsec with hw crypto support from the Powercrypt 
board do-able or not?  His reservation seems to suggest maybe not.
