I have an R40 myself, different model number, but similar hardware.

For display, you just need a regular radeon agp section in xorg.conf.
It'll have something like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon7500"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "DynamicClocks" "on"
EndSection
Unfortunately, DRI is broken with suspend in freebsd (at least last I
checked) so there's no real advantage to adding all of the usual fast agp
stuff that I know of.
Wireless card I think:

Not sure which driver this is offhand, but I would think you would either
`kldload if_ath` or `kldload if_iwi` (I think this is most likely) or any
of the other drivers. It seems like intels may have had a port like
net/iwi-firmware required for its operation.
The modem I think:

I am really unsure on the modem. I assumed they were lucentmodems (there's
a port, comms/ltmdm that might work) but am not sure. I haven't had a need.
I need to configure this to for the fan I think

The fan (on mine) works automatically. The thermal zone lets you see the
temperature via `sysctl hw.acpi`.
Thanks in advance for all help,
I hope this helps a little. I find my R40 easier to set up in freebsd than
in other operating systems, but of course ymmv.
