Have a look at /usr/ports/security/sudo.
I'd config it this way:
---</usr/local/etc/sudoers:>---
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
User_alias CD_ROM_USERS=luserOne,luserTwo,anotherLuser
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_alias MOUNT_CD=/sbin/mount /cdrom
---<snip>---
This way, the named lusers may do
sudo /sbin/mount /cdrom
as root, without giving them a root passwd.
Of course, you should allow them to unmount the darn thing, too.
