I believe not

The code (I looked at it just now) would take someone who was familiar 
with both systems to rewrite it. It has to interruact with the pci 
subsystem which is different, and the device top layer whuch is 
different, and all the module linkage stuff would have to be rewritten.

The ioread and iowrite calls and the logic as to what is done when 
would remain pretty much the same. (ioread and iowrite would be 
changed to macros to DTRT for freeBSD.

It also hooks into the Linux ATM framework and I have NO IDEA
how different that is however it only uses a couple of the methods
read/write/opemn/close so I'm pretty sure our framework would have 
equivalent methods of some sort.

you could probably do it yourself if you were willing to spend a 
couple of weeks learning this e sunsystems on each system :-)
