FYI,
The latest webcamd port detects my PCTV nanoStick T2 (model 290e). This is a DVB-C usb device.
Details:
root at kg-f4# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-f4.kg4.no 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #1: Sun Aug  5 18:43:08 CEST 2012
     root at kg-f4.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

root at kg-f4# usbconfig -d 1.2
ugen1.2: <PCTV 290e PCTV Systems> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON

root at kg-f4# portversion -v | grep webcamd
webcamd-3.6.0.1_1           =  up-to-date with port

webcamd finds the device:

Creating /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

the alternative methods also seem to work:

Creating /dev/video0
Creating /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
Creating /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

^C

Creating /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
Creating /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
^C

I haven't actually tested if the device is usable yet. Which program would be easiest for that task? mplayer?
(I still need to install Xorg, Xfce and lots of other things on this machine)
