I have set up two FreeBSD boxes so far and working on two more. The two I have going right now are for KKSF (San Francisco) and KFCF (Fresno, CA). I am using Hauppauge TV/FM Stereo card for input and a combination of Icecast (www.icecast.org) and my own programs (http://www.lns.com/papers/mixice/) for MP3 streaming. Send email if you want more info.
