What about uhci and/or ohci?  (I just noticed that the GENERIC kernel 
does not include ehci, so I had to add 'device ehci' to my custom
kernel config.)

Does your usb hardware appear in dmesg?  e.g. uhci, umass, uhub, etc?

pciconf -lv  should show you what USB controllers your machine has, e.g.
ehci0 at pci0:16:3:        class=0x0c0320 card=0x31041106 chip=0x31041106
rev=0x82 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
    device   = 'VT6202/12 USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller'
    class    = serial bus
    subclass = USB

If your USB hardware is supported, the drive should show up as da0s1,
which can be mounted with mount_msdos in the usual way.
