the usb dongle itself is only recognized as the ugen device, but this all here isn't only about my dongle ... as far as i have "grep"-ped the source of freebsd's kernel there isn't really any mentions about irda stack or irda device handling at all :S
`grep -r -i irda /usr/src/sys/dev` comes out pretty clean ... (except about 5-6 comments). imho freebsd's kernel couldn't possible really recognize any usb irda dongle because it really wouldn't have any idea what to 'do' with the device without an implementation of irda stack.
