Is there a daemon/program for FreeBSD that accepts Microsoft
RDP connections?

FWIW, xrdp compiles with minor mods to the Makefiles (remove all
references to -ldl). After install it appears to require a VNC server
running on localhost:5910. After pointing krfb to listen on 5910, I was
able to connect to my FreeBSD box using mstsc.exe from a Windows XP box.
There's hope that it's a relatively easy port.
HTH,
