Albert,

You may be interested in this page:
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_FreeBSD
(the versions of PTLib, Opal and Ekiga in the ports are a bit outdated
and not fully working/tested in FreeBSD);

The cam I'm using with FreeBSD 7.0-REL and Ekiga is:

May 20 09:32:17 rebelion kernel: pwc0: vendor 0x0471 product 0x0329, rev 1.10/0.03, addr 2
May 20 09:32:17 rebelion kernel: pwc0: Philips SPC900NC USB webcam
May 20 09:32:17 rebelion kernel: pwc0: This camera is equipped with a Sony CCD sensor + TDA8787 (32)

Hope it helps
