www/chromium patches current_os to return bsd on every platform that defines
OS_BSD. While those platforms are similar they're independent projects with
different ABIs. Some of userland APIs may not be available on all of BSDs. gn
already supports current_os=="netbsd" and OpenBSD has a patch[1] for
current_os=="openbsd".

For example, DragonFly and FreeBSD want OSS audio, OpenBSD wants sndio, NetBSD
wants SunAudio but WebRTC doesn't have OSS/SunAudio backends, so DragonFly can
only use ALSA layer on top of OSS while FreeBSD can also use PulseAudio. How
one would express such defaults with current_os=="bsd" ?
