it's already there in 6.0-RELEASE. see 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/relnotes-i386.html

also, the via chaps were down in kuala lumpur last month as part of an 
OpenHack contest to see if the via padlock device could be broken. one of 
the attendees managed to find a bug in their (windows based) software which 
allowed multiple/inifinite tries thus allowing a possible brute force 
attack. note, this in no way reflects on the security of the device itself.
