i haven't tried that under freebsd but:

we are using the qlogic qlc2200f controller under linux and
solaris.
works like a charm, and theres a driver for 5.x and 4.8: 

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.8R/hardware-i386.html
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/hardware-i386.html

under linux our attached storage is an emc^2 and under sun it's
an a5000.

as far as i know, the qlc2200f understands fcal + fabric and for
the a5000 you will need fcal support, or you put it on a fc
switch port, which does fcal to fabric conversion.

isp(4)

not exactly the information you ask for, but i hope its
nevertheless useful
