Generally it's not too difficult to port drivers between FreeBSD and
NetBSD, but I defer to the "driver porting gurus" for more information.

There's many that are supported by the `puc' driver.  For example, I
recently purchased a relatively cheap quad serial (+ 1 parallel) PCI
card which uses the NetMos 9845 chip (it was ~ A$ 150; you can
probably get them for ~ U$50 in the USA), and after a bit of tweaking,
I got it to work in my i386 and my alpha.
