 Also same for CC swiper.

 Anyone aware of these sorts of things for BSD?

Most will work on the Serial port or have a 'wedge' to insert it into the
keyboard cable. In the latter case it wil simply appear as key presses.
Any shop selling POS equipment will have a wide array to choose from.

Every one i have ever seen just sends keypresses (acts like a keyboard).

If your worried, ask the retailer if you can return it if it doesnt work with 
your system (most places I buy stuff for FreeBSD from, are happy for me to 
return if it doesnt work).
