With reasonable organization, and appropriate use of sudo or setgid

the traditional Unix permission model is probably going to be a better
solution.

Interesting. What would you suggest for full ACL?

Well, it depends on what you're doing in terms of user requirements and systems (ie, are the FreeBSD boxes fileservers, clients, or both?), but the stuff which comes with FreeBSD is documented in acl(3), getfacl, setfacl, etc. Other choices might involve something like the Andrew File System / Transarc DFS stuff, or Windows Active Directory and Samba/CIFS on the FreeBSD boxes....
