FreeBSD is going to be hard work for the minute until 8.1. Not sure about unRAID.
I planned on having a FreeBSD box running everything, but it looks like the best way is to have a super low powered Nettop running Ubuntu Headless and all this stuff on it. Seems to be the most economic way of having things run, rather than having your NAS always working. You can pick up low powered Nettops for $80. Still trying to work out which one I'm going to add, but with the fast development cycle of XBMC and it's respective addons, I'd say it would be best to go this route than hoping for a BSD plugin.
