I have just looked into this myself, so here is a brief summary of my
findings.

Bluetooth is supported via the netgraph framework, though only in 5.1 and
5-CURRENT. The USB adapters supported seem quite varied, from what I've
read, although 5.1's hardware notes only mentions a few :

According to a message (
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/net/2003-08/0130.html ) from
Maksim Yevmenkin, the guy who wrote the bluetooth stack, a lot more adapters
will work, based on their Linux support, see the link in the message.

Finally, here are some instructions on setting up bluetooth on FreeBSD :

Good luck,
Jonathan
