Here's some old links, but a google for "(pen|tablet) & (Linux|FreeBSD)"
would probably give better:

<li><a href="http://www.wacom.com">Wacom drawing tablets</a> Some have
some Linux support.</li>

<li>From Usenet: I got my Wacom PenPartner to work by enabling the
XInput driver in XFree86. look <a
href="http://www.gtk.org/~otaylor/xinput/xinput.html">here</a> for more
details. I had to get the Gimp sources and recompile to enable the
stylus, but I now have pressure support working.</li>

<li><a href="http://www.delix.de/">Wacom ArtPad II on XFree86</a>&nbsp;
Good page of tips on configuration, etc. [was here]</li>

<li><a href="http://levien.com/free/linux_intuos.html">Wacom Intuos
driver page</a>&nbsp; "information about using Wacom Intuos tablets";
with links to GIMP usage, more.</li>
