Personally I think I would rather ask a "Question" on FreeBSD-questions 
mailing list. Since that is where the "knowledge source" of FreeBSD resides.

Never once have I seen a reference that you looked into the Handbook 
under Multimedia, "16.2 Setting Up The Sound Card". The Sound Blaster 
AWE64 IS listed!

Why don't you try this link:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

and get back to us on your success.
