FWIW, the sources that Manfred put up compiled with the instructions
in the INSTALL file, except that you have to use gmake instead of
make.
So
$ MAKE=/usr/local/bin/gmake ./_autosetup
$ ./configure --disable-server
$ gmake

I just did that on FreeBSD 10.3-stable about a week and a half ago.
tingo at kg-core1$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-core1.kg4.no 10.3-STABLE FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE #0 r310083:
Wed Dec 14 21:00:13 CET 2016
root at kg-core1.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

(FYI, I also tested the compile on machine running FreeBSD 8.3 from
June 2013 but that compile failed)
I haven't done anything with the compiled binaries yet (had to upgrade
my BOINC machine first) but I expect that they will work well.

Also, I would prefer that the boinc port did NOT depend on / bring in
linux_base, but if it does I can live with it.
