I found this:

   http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/

Was pointed to by this message:

   http://www.freebsdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=30092

and buried inside the src/racoon/samples/roadwarrior/README under 
'Client setup' it says:

   This configuration should be compatible with the Cisco VPN 3000 using
   hybrid authentication, though this has not been tested.

Hope this helps,
