I cannot speak to the Kensington models, but I've been using the
Logitech TrackMan Marble series on my desktops running FreeBSD for
over a decade with no problems.  The Logitech's show up as a mouse and
works as a mouse in X with no problems.

FreeBSD 7 boot message:

ums0: <Logitech USB-PS/2 Trackball, class 0/0, rev 1.00/2.00, addr 3> on uhub3
ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.

Regards,

Gary
