Well, there is an unofficial freebsd port of pmount, it seems (judging

from the list at the bottom of

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/pmount), so you could

probably adapt that. But would

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hotplugd work for you?

Just make sure only root can write the hotplugd scripts and set it up

to automount and you're good, no?
