Yes.   The NetBSD and OpenBSD ATM stuff should also work under FreeBSD.
At least I had ported it to FreeBSD a few months ago and submitted it for
inclusion in FreeBSD (but no one ever got back around to doing it so
I guess there is no interest in it from the FreeBSD front, oh well).

Currently we have a driver for the Efficient Networks PCI ATM card.
It also works for the SBus Sparc version (but only on the sun4c since
I didn't address the issues with the IOMMU).     There is a Fore driver
in the works also, and there is a DEC driver that someone ported, but
I don't remember the details off the top of my head.

For source code, check ftp://dworkin.wustl.edu/dist/bsd and get
bsdatm1.2.tar.gz and midway.c.1.62.gz.

cheers,
