FreeBSD equivalent to Sun crypto framework APIs (PKCS#11) (for
hardware AES-CTR)

There are a number of hardware solutions for performing AES-CTR in
hardware - for example the broadcom BCM5825, which is supported by the
ubsec driver.
The problem is that OpenSSL does not currently support hardware
acceleration of AES-CTR. The solution on a Sun system is to use the Sun
crypto framework APIs (PKCS#11) which does support AES-CTR in hardware.
Is there an analagous API in FreeBSD that I could implement in my code so
as to use the hardware AES-CTR of devices supported by ubsec ?
Or do I need to directly manipulate ubsec with my actual application in
order to do this ?
