I have

CPU: VIA C3 Samuel 2 (533.36-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "CentaurHauls"  Id = 0x673  Stepping = 3
  Features=0x803035<FPU,DE,TSC,MSR,MTRR,PGE,MMX>
real memory  = 528416768 (503 MB)

running FreeBSD 6.2 without problems. The key here is NOT to set
CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf. Just use the defaults and you're fine.
