I've forwarded the request to Frode (Author of the program), I don't
know if he listens to this mailing list,
but he uses FreeBSD. I'm more or less involved in some other stuff,
around the FS-UAE project, so I might take up the port if
he doesn't have time himself.

But please have patience, he's close on releasing v2.4 so I might wait
for that before starting.
