The ata driver supports DVD drives, to watch dvd's on FreeBSD however
you'll have to compile vlc or ogle (2 programs for playing dvd's). If
you're a newbie to FreeBSD, getting them to compile and have good
performance can be a bit hard... but it's possible. Let me know when you
get to that point and I can help you (or just send another message to
freebsd-questions)
