Yea, I spent a bit more time looking at it and the FreeBSD version of
sys/capability.h seems to be related to libcapsicum rather than
libcap. The POSIX version was removed ~9.5 years ago and resurrected
as capacium 10 months ago for FreeBSD 9:

Daniel, I suggest adding my patch to the port as a temporary solution.
9.0-RELEASE is likely to be announced any day now, so it would be good
to have a working version of uwsgi in the ports tree. The patch can be
removed once Roberto implements the final fix on his end.
