Try XORP, in ports/net/xorp; it supports PIM-SM (Sparse mode) which is probably what you want for this kind of network configuration. Normally the RP for a given group or set of groups is discovered using the Auto-RP feature of PIM-SM however, they may be statically configured; see the 'static-rps {}' configuration block in XORP's PIM-SM.
