If you are looking to work with FreeBSD I'd suggest starting at
FreshPorts [1]. Someone has done the work to get Asterisk working on
FreeBSD and they've got Asterisk 13.19.0 (they're keeping it current).

Can you give an example of those anticipated problems?
Greater differences allow deeper learning. Especially, OpenBSD and FreeBSD look
like promising candidates with their different default shells and compilers. If
you have a look at my reported issues, those were just copy-and-paste mistakes,
slipped through errors, and wrong assumptions; trivial things. But big enough
to be a show-stopper for a novice user.
I am not about Continues Integration. I am about a manual test after a major
release (for example before the xx.2 release) on platforms which should do, but
which were not tested. I am not about running the whole Test Suite but just
about installing Asterisk and running it once (to double-check there are no
loader issues and no false errors). That took me seconds (after updating the
dependencies lists for those platforms in the script install_prereq).
Then, one goes through the findings. As described above, often easy to fix,
especially for the one who introduced that code change. Ideally the remaining
issues are reported on Jira, with a note that those issues must be fixed by the
community. Done.
Integrators and maintainers on those platforms can then use that information as
starting point while creating their patches. That should even ease their
contribution back upstream.
