Well in looking around to see if there is any support for any of
theo's little USB GPS that are out there on the market like this ones

[..]

if they are seen as a serial interface, you might have luck with
the ucom driver (man ucom)

Any one have experience with Serial GPS's in FreeBSD?

Anyone have any good experience with these tools?

I also have an eTrex Vista (which is great!) and I can confirm that it
does work with GPSDRIVE, which uses gpsd.
