There's work in progress on ARMv6 / v7 in SVN, see project "armv6", http://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/armv6/. The immediate platforms supported are Marvell PJ4 CPUs, but the code has been initially brought up also on Cortex-A9 (Panda), though I'm not sure if anyone is actively working on A8 adaptations.
