There should still be xscanimage, part of the
sane-frontends port. I'm successfully using it
with a scanner found by sane-find-scanner as

        found SCSI scanner "SCANNER  2.02" at /dev/pass0

and it works very well with xscanimage. You
should be able to use that tool in PC-BSD too,
although it uses Gtk. It does not require any
kind of deamon or other program running, so it
should be okay to use it within KDE.
