Yes. According to the FreeBSD FAQ, you must first do

sysctl -w vfs.usermount=1

Then, you have to give the users who are supposed to mount the floppy / cd
the appropriate permissions. For example, if you want to allow a user to
mount a CD in the drive represented by /dev/acd0c, then you would have to
use the "chmod" command to set up the correct permissions on /dev/acd0c.

More information on this is available in the FreeBSD FAQ.
