patch to FreeBSD's ports

To use FreeBSD in the Google Cloud Engine, you need the agent provided by the
package py27-google-compute-engine installed. That package has wrongly set the
default shell as bash and the minimum image of FreeBSD doesn't have it
installed so python commands fail when executing subprocess.Popen calls as it
requests a shell that doesn't exist.

The simple fix in attachment solves the issue by replacing the default shell to
be /bin/sh
