I would suggest just putting this into hints.m4 for APR, so that we automagically disable threading on FreeBSD for anything before 4.2-STABLE. Rumor is that 4.2-STABLE has valid thread support. I would rather not put this in configure.in, because this is the kind of thing hints.m4 was designed for.
