Why don't you just compile kismet, set it up and see if it works. Apparently recent kernels support rfmon (=monitor) mode. Orinoco is a peculiarity in linux because unlike most other wireless modules (hostap, madwifi, prism54, wlan-ng....), it doesn't implement monitor mode out of the box (at least until quite recently, I don't use it so I might be wrong).

Anyway from the kismet README:

Code:

FreeBSD
      Known supported cards: Atheros, Prism2, WSP100, Drone, wtapfile, pcapfile

      FreeBSD-current adds a common Radiotap packet header format.  Thanks
      to Sam Leffler, Kismet supports the radiotap headers and should work with
      current FreeBSD systems.

      FreeBSD users should configure with the --enable-syspcap to get mutlidlt
      support.

I already hear the bin trap opening.
