Actually, after a bit more poking.... gnash seems to be all there is
(someone please correct me). All the other projects appear to have a
common source.... and many of those devs are moving to gnash?
gnash can be found at :
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
and there is a port:
graphics/gnash
I've installed the port.... yet got nothing useful out of it yet. The
project's goal AFAIK is to produce a firefox flash plugin. Supposedly
the port and plugin do work (to some extent) on FreeBSD.... I'm just
having no luck yet.
