I think most (all?) of the current webcams are UVC ones.
A UVC driver is contained in the webcamd port, but it is
V4L2-only.  FreeBSD's Linux compatibility layer does not
support that, so it will not work with Linux binaries,
including Skype.

If you want Skype support, it's probably best to pick up
a used camera on eBay that works with the pwc port.

Best regards
