If you don't have semaphore support compiled in, there won't be any.  
FreeBSD doesn't use them internally; it just offers them as a service
to applications.

Here's a quiet system :

Development on this is currently underway; if you're Tcl literate (or are
willing to learn & want to take part regardless) then we'd love to have
