Yes, it is an issue of major/minor numbers which are diffrent in Linux
and FreeBSD vor the cam; with this small change:

# pwd
/usr/ports/devel/pwlib/work/pwlib_Phobos_release2/plugins/vidinput_v4l
# diff vidinput_v4l.cxx*
462,464c462
<           // static const int deviceNumbers[] = { 81 };
<           // for FreeBSD's pwc driver the major number is 0 and minor is 146
<           static const int deviceNumbers[] = { 0 };
---

<               // if (num <= 63 && num >= 0) {
<               if (num <= 146 && num >= 146) {
---
>               if (num <= 63 && num >= 0) {

the driver attaches without any problem; to whom to talk about get this
integrated into pwlib?
