I'm not sure what libc6-dev refers to, maybe development version
6 of the C library? In this case, FreeBSD already has version 7
which should be compatible.

	/usr/lib/libc.so@ -> /lib/libc.so.7

There usually are compatibility libraries for lower versions,
such as

	/usr/local/lib/compat/libc.so.4
	/usr/local/lib/compat/libc.so.5
	/usr/local/lib/compat/libc.so.6

An initial approach would be to download the sources and try to
compile them. Because it's not a FreeBSD port,

	# ./configure (e. g. with specific options)
	# make
	# make install

would be the way. But the documentation should be more precise.
