I am running FreeBSD 6.3. I have found that attaching and detaching USB drives to my box is unreliable. Is this the experience of other users?

What do you mean by "unreliable"? Please give us more details.
If you unplug it while it is mounted, it will certainly result in a kernel panic. As far as FreeBSD is concerned, this is no different than opening the box and disconnecting your hard disk while it is running.
Other than that, I have an external USB hard disk attached to my home server permanently. It is on all the time, it gets mounted / unmounted by scripts once or twice a day. It's been running for about two years, and never had any problem with it. I started using it with FreeBSD 6.x and is now on 7.
