In short, there currently is very little to none support of
touchscreens in FreeBSD -- on ARM or not. There is the wacom
driver (x11-drivers/xf86-input-wacom); also a generic driver
that's not even in the ports [1] and may or may not work.

With that said, x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev was ported recently,
and combined with multimedia/webcamd and a patch to xorg-server
over at [2] this should (hopefully) provide the full support to
whatever touchscreens Linux suports. You can thank Hans Petter
Selasky for this work.

Unfortunately our x11@ team has been slow in committing these
changes, and the PR at [2] has been lingering for 9 months now.
You'll need to apply the patch from that PR manually, if you
want to have it working.
