I believe there was a (work in progess) driver for at least one type of these card readers http://bsdimp.blogspot.com/2006/09/sdmmc-freebsd-driver-outline.html No idea as to current status. You could ask on freebsd-mobile I guess. (I have a Ricoh based one in my laptop but never use it so dont miss it.)
