Has anyone gotten asload and ascpu to work nicely on FreeBSD? 

I tried compiling them from what must be Linux distributions with no
success yet. The closest I've come is with ascpu:

paz:~[102] ascpu &
[1] 10084
gw.apriori.net:~[103] kvm_open: /dev/mem: Permission denied
ascpu : cannot open kvm

[1]    Exit 1                        ascpu


The documentation for ascpu says:

"Notes: Avatar Liang <avatar@www.mmlab.cse.yzu.edu.tw>
        points out: The FreeBSD version uses the kvm_XXX functions.
        Using these functions requires 'kmem' group privilege. Therefore
        the ascpu binary must setgid to kmem."

Not being well-versed in compiling stuff, this has me stumped.

asload just gives me a floating exception:

paz:~[101] asload &
[1] 10083
paz:~[102] 
[1]    Floating exception            asload


+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+


If someone wouldn't mind helping me through these and guiding me through
the ports process, I'd be happy to turn back in whatever is successfully
built.
