KDE3-Kaffeine was working with my webcamd based DVB-T stick,

Now that multimedia/kaffeine is the KDE4 version and the KDE3 version

Scan does not show any Source.)
I remember there was a thread about this, but I currently cannot find it.
Unfortunately i don't have a supported DVB stick, so i can't test anything.
kaffeine uses the v4l-compat headers so in theory it should work like in
Linux...
Does your stick work with other applications like mplayer or vlc?
I now know what's wrong: Unlike the old kaffeine which looked for
dvb devices itself, the KDE4 version relies on x11/kdelibs4 to
find them (Solid/DvbInterface, src/dvb/dvbdevice_linux.cpp
in kaffeine sources), which in turn relies on sysutils/hal
(solid/solid/backends/hal/haldvbinterface.cpp in kdelibs), and
at least hal doesn't know about dvb devices on FreeBSD yet, they
are only handled in hald/linux/device.c in hal sources. I've
Cc'd the hal and kdelibs port maintainers in case they want to
look at this...
Hal does support v4l (and thus webcamd) right now. I added that for
GNOME 2.30. I didn't do any dvb support. I may need some examples of
dmesg and sysctl to make this happen.
(Note: I also found a bug in the current hal webcamd v4l handling,
more about that below. [1] )
The devices don't show up in sysctl since they are handled by webcamd
too, dmesg here only says:
ugen5.2: Pinnacle at usbus5
ugen5.3: Afatech at usbus5
(the first one is dvb-s2, the second one dual dvb-t.)
