I had the same problem and it is still prooving to be a pain.

The only version in the FreeBSD ports collection that works is the
ascend-radius (1.16)which users version 1 syntax in the users file. The 3com
examples are version 2 syntax.

If you are comfortable compiling then grab a copy of radius.3.5.6 from
ftp.merit.edu.

Your exising config files will not work.

As radius.3.5.6 was not out when I got my Total Control rack I ended up
using cistron radius from ftp://enterprise.cistron.nl:/pub/people/miquels/radius
It was designed for linux,  compiles o.k but has a bug under FreeBSD with a file 
called /var/log/radutmp that it creats that seems to get an outrageous file length 
after a few minutes running. I just commented out the code that used it the file in 
acct.c and it has been running for 6 months.
