You can find a prototype polling(4) patch for bge(4) here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~brueffer/polling/bge_polling.diff

It lacks error recovery though.  I haven't worked on this for some time,
but I'll look into polishing it this weekend.

If I get my Ultra 10 to play nice with CURRENT and Pyun doesn't beat me
to it, I'll also take a look at hme(4).
