Thanks.
I installed the rtsx drivers from the ports, added 

acpi_toshiba_load="YES"
rtsx_load="YES"

to /boot/loader.conf, and...

Yes, after the system restart, if I insert an SD card in the reader,
I get, in /var/log/messages

rtsx0: Interrupt card inserted/removed
rtsx0: Card present
mmc0: <MMC/SD bus> on rtsx0
mmcsd0: 32GB <SDHC SE32G 8.0 SN 0CD896B3 MFG 04/2014 by 3 SD> at mmc0 50.0MHz/4bit/256-block

camcontrol devlists doesn't notice anything, but now I have a /dev
node that I can happily mount issuing

 mount -t msdosfs /dev/mmcsd0s1 /mnt

and it works!

Many thanks,

Luciano.
