The typical problems as Harald said are to do with the build system
and FreeBSD use of version numbers, e.g. autoconf is installed
as autocon213 (or whatever). There are also a couple of paths
that are wrong. Here is my setup which works fairly well:

NutOS: most recent entry in ChangeLog is 2005-03-30 (later versions I had
	some problems with autoconf, etc. they should be fairly easy to fix
	but I ended up in autoconf version hell).

FreeBSD: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2
