Sorry it did not work out :/
I'm not so sure it's an NKRO related bug but it might need some debugging. You might as well post of FreeBSD forums to see if other people are using the same keyboard as you.
I'm using a Vortex ViBE and a Vortex Tab90M without any problem on FreeBSD but I'm not sure they are really NKRO.
