FreeBSD 6.1:

ping# mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /cdrom
ping# ls /cdrom/
ULSATA2         WIN2000         ftsata2
Ultra           WINXP           txtsetup.oem
ping#

that's in the base OS, no additional software needed.

As far as I know (can't test at the moment) all the FreeBSD platforms 
that we will support with KDE4+ have this functionality.
