FreeBSD works with just about any video card, as all its most "graphics
intensive" stuff happens on a text-mode screen. If you're interested in
real graphics and graphical user interface, check out
http://www.xfree86.org and see if your video card is supported by the
latest XFree86 (that's what FreeBSD uses).

PCMCIA is supported... but you don't give much info to go on. FreeBSD
supports PCMCIA out-of-the-box, but for some devices (usually the newer
stuff), the PAO add-on is needed (http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO).
