I'm not sure what that means, since it's a CD player. Are you saying that some part of it is broken on FreeBSD? There are two ways of playing CDs. One way is that the app reads the tracks off the disk and treats them as data (I'm guessing it's this bit that doesn't work). The traditional way is that the CD player app controls the drive, but the sound goes directly from the drive to the sound-card (or motherboard) through a dedicated lead. If you fit that lead you should have sound from KsCD, or you may just need to turn-up the cd input in the mixer. That said I haven't bothered to do this for a long time since most mp3 apps will also play CD.
