FYI,
The latest webcamd port detects my PCTV nanoStick T2 (model 290e). This is a DVB-C usb device.
Details:
root@kg-f4# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-f4.kg4.no 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #1: Sun Aug 5 18:43:08 CEST 2012
root@kg-f4.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
root@kg-f4# usbconfig -d 1.2
ugen1.2: <PCTV 290e PCTV Systems> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON
root@kg-f4# portversion -v | grep webcamd
webcamd-3.6.0.1_1 = up-to-date with port
webcamd finds the device:
root@kg-f4# webcamd

the alternative methods also seem to work:

I haven't actually tested if the device is usable yet. Which program would be easiest for that task? mplayer?
(I still need to install Xorg, Xfce and lots of other things on this machine)
