I believe that there is support for drivers that offer accelleration of things like DSA signatures, Diffie Hellman key agreement and such like.

These operations are defined in sys/crypto/cryptodev.h, starting with (I think) the line:
struct crypt_kop {

Operations such as CRK_MOD_EXP (exponentiate and modulus) are defined, and was wondering if there was already a decent kernel based implimentation of these operations?
