I thought that that was just when explicitly loading a .dll or .so

That's right.
But given our resource limitations, I suggest the most pragmatic thing
to do is support the latest FreeBSD, and leave older versions enabled in
Druntime with `version` statements. That way the user could recompile
Phobos for earlier versions if he needed it, but it wouldn't be
officially supported.
Note that dmd still runs on Windows XP, though it is not officially
supported. You just need to be careful about using TLS variables on it :-(
to avoid spreading this false information: TLS in D works in dynamically
loaded DLLs on WinXP since 2010.
