Not I.  Are you sure it's supported?  Currently very few remote
controls are.

Are you sure you need a /dev/lirc0?  I'm running lircd with a DVICO
USB remote control on one of my machines, and there's no /dev/lirc0
there.  If you do need it, you'll probably have to port the kernel
modules.  What kind of interface does it have?

The list is probably right.  And I'm making progress with my
"installing MythTV on FreeBSD" documentation at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/HOWTO/mythtv-on-FreeBSD-setup.html This is
still pretty rough about the edges; I'll work on it when I'm sure I
know what I'm doing.
