Do you have a rr2680_load="YES" line in your /boot/loader.conf file?
Yes. Following the instructions in that PDF (including that line) and then rebooting gives me a /dev/rr2680 and allows hptraidconf to be able to view and even alter the RAID. This is something the main page for hptrr says that it cannot do. The devices just don't show up for me to use them though, unless they should be somewhere other than /dev.

It could be. There are many differences between 7.0 and 7.2, a module compiled for 7.0 might not work properly under 7.2.
Do you get anything in /var/log/messages (or on console) when you kldload the module?
When I kldload rr2680 I get told that it has loaded the module but that no device is present. By modifying loader.conf and rebooting, it seems to pick up the device.

Well, if you haven't recompiled the kernel, you are running GENERIC ($ uname -a will tell you) and the config file for it is /sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC
I was hesitant to mention this for fear of being told to ask elsewhere but this is actually on FreeNAS 0.7, which is based on FreeBSD 7.2. I have already tried asking there but I either get no reply at all or I get told to ask a FreeBSD community. Being bounced between the two communities without getting an answer would not be good.
Unfortunately this means that some things are just a pain to do. pkg_add does not work and even trying to get individual executables such as pciconf can be difficult. It also means that the file structure is slightly different (e.g. /cf/boot/loader.conf) and the root file system is on a memory disk.
Here is the dmesg output immediately after a reboot and also the uname output:
Code:
# dmesg | grep -i rr

Here is /dev/rr2680 appearing:

Note that da0 is the USB drive I am booting from and ad4, 6, 8 and 10 are SATA drives attached to the motherboard, not the RAID card.
Finally, here is the HighPoint RAID software showing the controller and the disk:
