FreeBSD supports the SB Live cards with the normal pcm(4) driver,
which should be compiled into the kernel, or, if you have the
modules (they are normally in /modules), you can run 
"kldload snd_emu10k1" which should load support for the card as
well as the generic pcm code contained in the snd_pcm module.

I think you probably did something wrong if you got errors with a
makefile.. but it's hard to say because you don't specify what
makefile you are talking about nor do you specify your intentions.
