FreeBSD has no libpthread. The pthread functionality is contained in
libc_r. However, -lc_r isn't quite correct either, as there are issues
with the linker still wanting -lc as well by default (it'll mostly work
in general, but its not quite right according to discussions I've seen).
The -pthread flag makes it all DTRT.

Hmmm. The port itself sets BSD_PTHREAD_LIBS="${PTHREAD_LIBS}" in the
environment to configure and fixes the NSPR linking line in patch-qt.
Have you got your environment set up correctly when you invoke
configure? That good be a problem. Try
setenv BSD_PTHREAD_LIBS '-pthread'
before you configure (assuming patch-qt is applying ok) and see how that
works.
