Looks like the Architecture on those are MIPS. There is work in FreeBSD to support the MIPS architecture, see this page for more info: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/mips.html

Did you look to see if there is a pico mips version in the ports?
We use the i386 pico version from ports to make a very small 8 port router on a HP brio celeron 400MHz, 32Meg of RAM.
