I think this is covered in the handbook than what I am going to write  
but if not you might try adding something like the following to:

   /etc/devfs.conf
      link    acd0    cdrom
      link    acd0    dvd
      own     acd0    dwilde:dwilde    # user and group you are logging is as
      own     cd0     dwilde:dwilde
and in rc.d
      dbus_enable="no"
      polkitd_enable="no"
      hald_enable="yes"

May not need all of the above.  It is just what I have accumulated  
over the years and works for me.  Then reboot and it should work  
unless I've forgotten something or you don't have a reasonably up to  
date installation or both ;)
