define "cheap"

LSI MegaRaid SATA-150 6 (or some comination of those words and  
numbers) are in the upper $200 range and support 6 SATA drives, have  
FreeBSD tools and drivers, and are not simple sw raid type cards.   
monarchcomputer.com has had the best LSI SATA card price I have found.

I use the 4 -port version successfully under FreeBSD and Solaris 10  
(Solaris had to be slightly hacked as they had the driver but not the  
right PCI ids)
