what version of the Bluetooth code are you using? the problem is the
ng_ubt(4) driver does not know about your USB device. you will need
to find out vendorID/productID for your device and add them into the
list of the supported devices inside USB_MATCH function. you may use
ugen(4) driver for this, i.e.

1) kldload ugen
2) attach the device
3) check /var/log/messages for ugen0: xxx messages and write down
   vendorID/productID. 
4) detach the device
5) vi src/sys/netgraph/bluetooth/drivers/ubt/ng_ubt.c
6) find USB_MATCH function
7) add { vendor_id, product_id }, line 
8) recompile and reinstall ng_ubt(4) driver
9) kldload ng_ubt
10) attach the device

/var/log/messages

no, FreeBSD does not have /proc/bus/usb. Also PAN is not yet supported.
