Only a success message for the record:

I installed the updated and new ports from today

   'multimedia/v4l_compat'      v.1.0.20100113
   'multimedia/video4bsd-kmod'  v.0.1.1
   'multimedia/libv4l'          v.0.6.3
   'multimedia/webcamd'         v.0.1.0
   'multimedia/pwcview'         v.1.4.1

added the following lines in

/boot/loader.conf
   video4bsd_load="YES"
   snd_uaudio_load="YES"

/etc/rc.conf
   webcamd_enable="YES"

changed the permission of /dev/video0 in

/etc/devfs.conf
   perm    video0  0666

and rebooted.

Now it's the first time that I am able to use my 'Logitech Quickcam Pro 
9000' on 9.0-CURRENT (amd64) with 'pwcview -s vga'.

Many, many thanks for this nice work!
