I found http://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/schedule.html and understand now what you meaned before. Let's wait till FreeBSD 10 is there ... the bonus is, that the tablet is then cheaper then now ;-)

But would it be possible to run a FreeBSD with graphics on a tablet like the new Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) and if yes, what must be done / is needed ?

Yes, the wandboard quad is also a very interesting tool.
