Several possibilities:

The SCSI part has a linux emulation part (I don't remember the name
ATM), give it a try and report back if it works.

In the linux emulation exists a device wrapper feature. You can add the
device there (in the source) which nero tries to open, and maybe add
some more code which maps linux ioctls to FreeBSD ones (or at least
identify which devices it tries to open and which ioctls it wants to
do, maybe someone here on the list is willing to help out).

Bye,
Alexander.
