We have a utility in our pcbsd-utils-qt4 package called "pc-mounttray"

http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Mount_Tray/10.0

It monitors devd, not HAL to do device auto-detection and mounting. It
works pretty much in all desktops, being specific to FreeBSD, not the DE
you happen to be running.

Only downside is that the port is a tad stale, I will try to update it
as soon as possible :)
