On FreeBSD 4.10-Stable, I've used gatekeeper for ohphone/openphone, 
currently use SER and started playing with Asterisk to free up the RH90 
system.  I have kphone running from ports as well (but needed a slight 
source code change to startup for me.)

Versions:  ser currently is 0.8.12, asterisk is 0.9.0_1 and gatekeeper 
is/was 2.0.5_2.

SER is fantastic, and is well supported.  I've stopped using gatekeeper 
since leaving Avaya, as I no longer have a need to touch H.323 anymore. 
  From the comment above, it looks like it still works just fine.  From 
what I read, there is a lot of work going on for Asterisk on BSD.  There 
is a Asterisk-BSD mailing list available if you are interested.  See 
http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-bsd for details.

SER & * work together just fine.  I use * for my PSTN-GW ("media 
gateway"), but currently on RH90 until I have the time to migrate to 
BSD.  I expect no problems.  (If I had a free PCI slot, this would 
already be done.)
