The USB supplement only provides support for the bus, not for the devices that are attached to the bus. You still need a device driver.
Try digi.com or perle.com on moxa.com for pci multiport serial cards. You should be able to find one for about $100US per port.

firewire
FIREWIRE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual FIREWIRE(4)
NAME
firewire -- IEEE1394 High-performance Serial Bus
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device firewire
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
firewire_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
FreeBSD provides machine-independent bus support and raw drivers for firewire interfaces.
The firewire driver consists of two layers: the controller and the bus layer. The controller attaches to a physical bus (like pci(4)). The
firewire bus attaches to the controller. Additional drivers can be attached to the bus.
Up to 63 devices, including the host itself, can be attached to a firewire bus. The root node is dynamically assigned with a PHY device
function. Also, the other firewire bus specific parameters, e.g., node ID, cycle master, isochronous resource manager and bus manager, are
dynamically assigned, after bus reset is initiated. On the firewire bus, every device is identified by an EUI 64 address.
FILES
/dev/fw0.0
/dev/fwmem0.0
SEE ALSO
fwe(4), fwip(4), fwohci(4), pci(4), sbp(4), eui64(5), fwcontrol(8), kldload(8), sysctl(8)
HISTORY
The firewire driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
AUTHORS
The firewire driver was written by Katsushi Kobayashi and Hidetoshi Shimokawa for the FreeBSD project.
BUGS
