There is a Linux program (not a backend) at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/millwardjp/ . I didn't have a look at it
but as it uses libusb I guess porting to FreeBSED shouldn't be too
difficult.

If it's detected by the kernel sane-find-scanner should also find it.
It won't be able to detect what vendor and product you have beacuse
the FreeBSD uscanner driver doesn't provide that feature.
