Digium has g.729 codecs for FreeBSD on their site:

http://ftp.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_g729/unsupported/asterisk-1.4/FreeBSD-6.1/x86-32/

The licenses cost $10/ea as they always have.

This is not a problem.

The unsupported part is the same as always; you can't call Digium with a codec
problem and expect them to help fix it. This isn't any less support
than you presently get
for other problems with Asterisk on FreeBSD.
