I dont remember if I tried on 6.x but using the intel driver 
(xf86-video-intel) on 7.x worked very well for me in a Intel 945gm 
chipset. Its certainly supported on 6.x 
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/drm/drm_pciids.h?rev=1.2.2.4;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=RELENG_6 
and look for i945)
