FPC is easy to install on any platform. Simply use the installer
supplied by the FPC team. Download the installer and source archive from
SourceForge. Very simple (on ALL platforms) and should take around 2
minutes.

Even on Linux I never use the package manager because with FPC that just
makes things overly complicated. The text based binary installer works
the best.

FreeBSD doesn't use sudo as far as I know (not on my systems at least).
I have to use 'su' to switch to the root account, then run things as admin.

BTW:
To install FPC (from the text installer) you don't need to be root
(another benefit of not using the package managers). You can install FPC
to your home directory if need be.
