If you search google for "freebsd support"
(without quotes) this is one of the first
links and there are other, so what you
said is not correct.

http://www.unixporting.com/freebsd-support.html

There are other databases elsewere with support
(paid support) for your favorite OS. Don't forget
that if there is a market, you will find a supplier.
