I have used miniBSD as a firewall box on an Advantech WEB-2143 quite successfully
Another thing to consider is that the FreeBSD 4.x kernel is quite a bit bigger than in the old days. Bloat seems like entropy, inevitable without constant care. Since most embedded systems are not going to need SMP, nor the advanced virtual memory systems (no disk--no swap), you might rather build your system starting with perhaps a 2.2.8 system.

FWIW Im using FreeBSD 4.7 in a 32MB Compact Flash card ...
df -h says I'm using 47% of the CF card...
