For open source, the old standby is RT, which includes an integrated FAQ manager - http://www.bestpractical.com/ - the FAQ facility is referred to as "articles" (http://www.bestpractical.com/docs/rt/4.2/customizing/articles_introduction.html) Both are a bit "clunky" for my taste - but then, I've yet to find anything in that space that isn't. And, of course, very few (if any) are aimed at the library environment (Jira is aimed at software developers, RT at IT/network operations, for example).
