So i was thinking of using low power raspberry pi devices to collect the video streams from HDPVR and pass them to FreeBSD server for storage. The FreeBSD will be the primary backend and HTPC will be the primary front end. However, i am not sure what role should be defined for raspberry pi.

This sounds doable. I tested using an RPi 2 as a slave backend, and was successful with this using an HVR-950Q as the tuner for it. With the HDPVRs I believe you are getting an mp4 stream which should be less bandwidth than the HVR950Q mpg streams.
