 Last time I checked (over 12 months ago, admittedly) the short answer
 was no.  There were some Linux reverse engineering attempts (the
 interface is not public), and reports scattered about the web
 regarding limited success with these drivers under NetBSD and FreeBSD,
 but I personally never got anything working.  Check Google---things
 may have changed.

The problem is that Logitech hasn't released the details on how to
communicate with the device.  There's not much anyone can do about
that.  I suspect the difficulty you'll have in getting the 'FreeBSD
team [to] do something about this' is that it's just not a very
interesting problem---there are other cameras around with open
specifications.  Certainly I gave up on the QuickCam in pretty short
order and just got another camera.
