I've just been on a trip back to Scotland to visit family and managed to 
get some work done on this. I think I've got as far as Buzz did. I can't 
make any formal commitment in terms of time or resource to this work 
right now.

I would really appreciate it if you could have a look.

I've copied what I've been working on to 
http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/staging/.

What is missing: ISO, FCP and ARM support.
This also has the same caveat that it will work only with the first 
firewire card.

I have noticed when I try to run the raw1394 test code, that my laptop 
instantly reboots. No panic. I probably need to try this with a machine 
which is more tolerant of double/triple faults and/or NMIs to pin down 
exactly what causes the code to die.
