There's a CAM module under active development in FreeCAD called "Path". Not being a machinist I have no clue how usable it is (its main dev has put some video tutorials on Youtube), but I'm pretty sure it won't work on mesh objects, you'll need to convert it into a CAD solid. The Path module in current 0.16.6707 release provides limited features, the best is to used the latest development build.
i believe i got as far as compiling up freecad but not the path module. the desk is currently occupied by a china $300 mendel clone (which amazingly works!) we will get back to the CNC later :)
