GEOM Gate by Pawel Dawidek is what you want. I don't think it's in
the tree yet, but patches are available.
See:
http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-hackers_2003/msg04335.html
http://garage.freebsd.pl/geom_gate.tbz
Note that this is experimental code so don't entrust anything valuable
to it.
Cheers,
Matthew
