I quickly tested under FreeBSD 10.3. Even thought FreeBSD doesn't have *-devel packages like Linux does. All ports packages (binary or build from source) include unversioned and versioned library names.
Anyway, the -l:libname.so.1 style linker parameter also works under FreeBSD. I could link a project without problems. To make doubly sure, I deleted the libX11.so symlink file and managed to link my project successfully. It also run without problems (didn't expect any issues here). So using the versioned library names definitely works.
