That's weird. Thunar Volume Manager was modeled after Gnome Volume Manager, and I find it hard to believe that HAL is not needed, but since that's official documentation, I'll believe it. However, there is this pesky line:

Thunar supports removable media if it was built with support for HAL, or if you are using FreeBSD. Note however that on FreeBSD 6.0 or newer, it is suggested to use HAL rather than the native support provided by Thunar.

What kind of errors are you getting? For me, setting up HAL was a breeze on FreeBSD 7. Getting PolicyKit configured properly is really the only thing that may require multiple tries. I'm going to post a guide soon. That might help you.
