The 3.2 kernel does support SMP - but you'll need to compile your own kernel
(this option is disabled by default in the GENERIC kernel).

AFAIK there is no way to control the affinity of processes under FreeBSD at
present...

So long as your board is good/supported - it's pretty simple... Look at the
GENERIC kernel under 3.2 - and uncomment a couple of lines :)
