If you install the sysutils/cdrtools and sysutils/dvd+rw-tools ports 
and add the CAM devices to your kernel (see "man 4 cam"), k3b ought to 
be able to use that to burn CDs successfully.

The CAM/passthru mechanism seems to work fine for almost everyone, but 
if you feel that using the native ATAPI burncd instead is more 
convenient than using CAM, that's okay.  I don't think anyone else is 
working on integrating burncd with k3b, but I certainly don't have any 
objections to the notion if that is something you really want to do.
