i actually had a few to poke around at this code and see what it'd take 
to get it building.  i think the best place to start is porting 
"SetUpLinux.cmake" to "SetUpBSD.cmake":
https://github.com/root-project/root/blob/master/cmake/modules/SetUpLinux.cmake

that's preventing anything from even starting to build on my end. i'd 
put more effort into it but i don't have an immediate need to root on 
BSD yet...
