if I understand you correctly, the video image is aleady being displayed in
a X window running on a FreeBSD and you wish to send this video to a video
conferencing program.

the application "nv" (in ports/net) can do select a X window as a video source,
but the X display running the video source and nv but be running in 8 bit mode.
see the information for nv.

If I am mis-understanding your question and if you are capturing from an
external source, then you will need a capture card. see:

	http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~tinguely/mbone-freebsd/

for supported capture cards.
