The via driver is available only from XFree86 4.4 (or in the x.org
release.)  The XFree86 port in FreeBSD has not yet been updated to 4.4,
and the x.org ports are not quite finished yet.
In other words: No, the via driver is not available yet, but once the
X ports have been updated to the latest release it should work.
