Hi!

I'm working on FreeBSD, too.

you'll need to install: 
gcc47 (or newer), bash, cmake to get started.

There are awful bashisms in all cmake ports, you'll need a syslink from /bin/bash to /usr/local/bin/bash.
Also you'll need symlinks from "gcc" and "g++" to your actual compiler.

tqt3 and tqtinterface builds without bigger problem using gcc or clang.

At the moment I'm stuck with alsa at building arts :-/

I install anything in /opt/trinity and ignore /usr/local/ till I run into a problem.

HAL in form of "hald" isl supported on FreeBDS 10.1, udev is "devd". I do not see any sign of them getting dropped.
