I have a SoundBlaster Live! card in one of my FreeBSD (5.2.1) machines.
I have the following in /boot/loader.conf:

snd_emu10k1_load="YES"

And that's it.  It automatically loads the (required) snd_pcm.ko module as
well as the snd_emu10k1.ko module.  The above works with a GENERIC kernel
(you don't have to recompile the kernel).  If you don't want to reboot,
you should be able to type the following as root:

kldload snd_emu10k1

Magic!  Although I'm not sure if you have to restart X to make it realize
that the sound device has been created and start using it.  I've never
actually tested loading it at run time because adding that line to
/boot/loader.conf is one of the first things I do when installing my
system.  I'd be surprised if it didn't work, though.
