Looking for a suitable board I found Intel's OS Selector (http://edc.intel.com/Step-by-Step/Selector-Guide/)on their Embedded Design Center.

If you select "FreeBSD" there the only (!) platform most closely reccomanded is IntelĀ® EP80579 Integrated Processor Product Line (http://edc.intel.com/Platforms/EP80579/).

Having upcoming FreeBSD8 in mind and looking for a low power Network Security Appliance with SATA2 and 4xGbit LAN what are you guys using?

I don't know what exactly your demands are, but the SuperMicro Atom board work pretty good with FreeBSD:

Only two NIC's though, but you can expand with a PCI-e card ...

already using the SM above - the good thing is that you can ask Supermicro's tech support questions if you get stuck (they do a lot of best effort)
