So, my question above, and a public call to -core, or anyone else:
   What can we, as a community, due to improve this situation?

How about buying from vendors that specifically support FreeBSD.
http://freebsdsystems.com
http://ixsystems.com

and surely others.

In my case, it comes down to two words: remote administration ... HP is the only system I've yet found that has it integrated as part of the hardware ...

The other selling point for me on HP was the 2.5" SAS drives ... our new servers have 4x72G SAS drives in a 1U space, which means I can do RAID1+0 ...

Other point is leasability ... from an accounting perspective, its better for me to lease servers, then it is to buy them outright ... being in Canada, its very difficult to lease servers from the US ...
