if any of your network devices have NetFlow capability you could try IPFlow (
http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Main_Page ) as a collector. There are
binaries for FreeBSD and as a flow collector goes it is quite straightforward.
It can also be hooked up with RRDTool.

have a look at xyplex 1600 console server, which is a standalone comm server
accesed via a network.
you can the also run comserv on your bsd box which will the connect the 16
ports of the console server as directly connected serial ports giving you the
use of ports as device files tip etc.
you can install this from sysinstall:
here is a link to full instructions:
