Not to be overly critical here, but if the original poster is try to use the 
Cisco 5000 vpn client, you need Linux kernal headers to build it from source.
The pre-built version won't run on FreeBSD (although I haven't tried it since 
4.8 or so).

My company requires the Cisco 5000 client to connect to our vpn. The 3000 
client will not work for us. I tried for sometime to build the 5000 client, 
but I could never get it to build properly on FreeBSD.
