I did go ahead and buy one of these boards and can now report that
FreeBSD-8.0/i386 boots and runs on it with no apparent problems.  A user
in the forums reports similar success running 8.0/amd64.

Extremely quiet and inexpensive board. At around $80, it is one-third
the cost of the Supermicro boards.  

Not much use as a space heater, however; I've had it running for more
than 24 hours, busily recompiling ports, and the heatsink is just barely
warm to the touch.  Next time I reboot it I'm going to plug it into my
Kill-a-Watt meter to measure its power draw...
