We'll survive, but for future reference it's almost never appropriate to 
cross-post between freebsd-questions and other FreeBSD lists.

I've got a K8N Diamond board as well, and FreeBSD 6.0 & 6.1 seems to work just 
fine with either the nVidia integrated 4-channel SATA controller, and with the 
SilImage 3132 2-channel SATA controller.  Note that I've only tested 
single-drive operation, though-- I haven't had the need to set up RAID on this 
one yet...
