Actually, MIDI is supported in 5.x world.
But I think it might not be the time because an overhaul of
the MIDI subsystem is planned before 5.3.
(see also: FreeBSD Status report for Oct-Dec 2003
 <http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4018087B.4080903>)

And, yes, there is a USB-MIDI driver ported from NetBSD's.
(unofficial, not in the source tree)
But I don't recommend it either because of the same reason.

Sincerely,
taku
