Marty,

When you add the templates, add them as "Other PV".

It appears my setup is using e1000 for networking instead of virtIO (shown
via virsh dumpxml), how is this set through Cloudstack on KVM?

e1000 drivers can be found on Intels website using Google.

Drivers for FreeBSD are here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~kuriyama/virtio/

FreeBSD 10 comes with VirtIO drivers bundled (FreeBSD's hypervisor 
"bhyve" uses VirtIO as well).

I've got a FreeBSD KVM template with VirtIO here:

Windows VirtIO drivers here:
