I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of pybluez is.
Python already supports Bluetooth on FreeBSD out of the box.
I'm controlling several devices via Bluetooth (RFCOMM/SPP)
with Python programs on FreeBSD.  It works great.  The very
same programs work on NetBSD, too.  I haven't tried Linux,
though.
