Subject:   Sbus qec network driver - in system already or possible to port?

I acquired some old ultrasparcs from the "junk room" of our school and 
to my delight found out that all three of them are capable of running 
FreeBSD/sparc64. I'm considering using the Ultra1 I got as a firewall at 
home as it has decent enough processor and memory for firewall use, but 
have still one stumbling block I need to solve.

I have older 4 port quad-port sbus card 
(http://docs.sun.com/source/800-7123-11/ch1.html) readily available, but 
there seems to be no driver for it (both Net and Open do support the 
card however). So the base question is whether there already is 
compatible driver in the system or is it possible with very mediocre C 
skills to use the existing drivers from netbsd or openbsd and port those 
to FreeBSD?

(uname -a and dmesg are as follows, I'm aware of dying battery btw ;))
