SCSI ZIP works fine with FreeBSD.  I own one myself and have it hanging of
an NCR SC-200 (53C810) SCSI board.  Its just another SCSI device, and the
SCSI ZIP's performance is very nice.

Parallel ZIP is also supported, if you don't mind the relatively slow speed
of the hardware involved.  Check out:

       http://www.freebsd.org/search.html

and search for "zip parallel" and you can get the latest info.  I have this
URL saved, which may be the latest, but search the archives to be sure:
