It seems that KMS support is being integrated into kFreeBSD in upstream:

 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA5MTc

and will be present in 9.1 and 10.0.  As for userland it should be possible
to get a working xserver-xorg-video-intel now, possibly with some patching.

I think the phoronix article is incorrect, in that KMS support is not in FreeBSD mainline yet. The patches that are available should work equally well on mainline and the stable/9 branch at this point, though.

FreeBSD svn r235859 seems to have connected the KMS support to the build.
