You can get it working either with x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa or x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb I've never had to use the above drivers because I've always bought hardware that's more or less 100% functional with FreeBSD, and thus I am not sure how well these work. But I am quite sure you can get at least 1024x768 resolution with VESA.
