Hi Geoff,

Thank you for your interest in helping with the FreeBSD port.

The wiki page you listed above [1] contains links to tickets relevant
to the FreeBSD port. This page [2] contains some ideas on getting the
port moving; see the sections "Porting" and "Portable C99 libm". As
far as I know, the Sage build farm currently doesn't have FreeBSD
running. However, if you are a contributor to a free open source
project you can apply for an account on the GCC Compile Farm [3],
which has a FreeBSD machine.

The FreeBSD port has been stalling for many months now. The Sage
contributors who know how to work on the port, e.g. Peter Jeremy, Mike
Hansen, etc., simply don't have the time to work on it.
