FreeBSD doesn't support the VC as far as I know.

Connectix, makers of the Quickcam have been extremely 
unhelpful providing access to documentation for free
software developers to use thier products.

There is support for the previous generation quickcams
in the ports collection:

/usr/ports/graphics/qcread

If anything you should investigate a bt848 based capture card:

I really like my "winTV" card.
