Yes.
ccd(4).
man ccd :-)
Don't forget to enable ccds in your kernel, build a new one if
necessary. Insert the line
pseudo-device ccd 4
in your kernel configuration file to include 4 ccds in your kernel.
After you booted your new kernel, you may then use ccdconfig(8) to configure
ccds. Read the manual pages for the basic steps to build a ccd.
