But, actually, why not on FreeBSD ? 

Btw,
mdconfig(8)
...
     To create an md(4) device out of an ISO 9660 CD image file (-a and -t
     vnode are implied), using the first available md(4) device, and then
     mount the new memory disk:

           mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -f cdimage.iso` /mnt
...
