The newer cards work very well.  I have a X800se PCI-Express card and it 
works like a charm with X.org 6.8.1 on 5.3.  The only thing that's 
missing in the newer Radeons under Xorg/XFree is 3d acceleration (which 
the OP might or might not need on FreeBSD, since it's mostly only useful 
for games, anyways).
