Actually, I think your best bet is to get an external ISDN bridge or
router. Ascend makes some nice models for home and small office use.
Basically, you plug the ISDN line into one end (they have integrated
NT1s) and the other end plugs into your LAN. You don't need to worry
about FreeBSD supporting the hardware. You do need to worry about
your provider at the other end.
I haven't bought mine yet, but I'm considering this one:

Microsoft "Get ISDN"? I'd rather ask: Got Milk? :-)
