I have had the same question and have found some answers, but not what I 
wanted.  Check out man uhid and usbhidctl.  You can do any system 
command do can do in the shell, like changing volume with your game 
pad.  I have not found a way to do a keyboardmap like you can do so easy 
in linux and windows.  Your best hope would be good sdl or pad support 
in the app you are running.  If you find out more, or get some mapper 
app, please let me know.  I wish there was a way to have freebsd treat a 
pad as a keyboard or something.
