This depends primarily on the chipset used for these boards. You can find
more at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.3R/notes.html. This is not the
only source but it is the most stuff in one place.

Basic VGA display shouldn't be a problem. For X windows and advanced
video, you will have to go to www.xfree86.org.

You might try a minimal binary install with kernel sources to test the
waters.
