Skype from the ports runs fine in:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD current.Sisis.de 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #5: Sun Jan 10 09:55:14 CET 2010     guru@current.Sisis.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
$ pkg_info | fgrep skype
skype-2.0.0.72,1    P2P VoIP software
$ 

including a webCam based on pwc(4) kernel mod;
