We are not aware of PCI based ones, but USB ones work (with 8.2 /  
9-current). Have a look at http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat (DVB  
section). With "MAC" are you referring to common access modules (CAM /  
PayTV)? If yes, there are some where the DVB-S(2) part should work,  
but none of them are tested regarding CAM and multimedia/webcamd has  
no support for this (you would have to talk/work with hps@ regarding  
this).

Bye,
Alexander.
