Ealier you compared it to Debian, but failed to mention you are running a developmental version of FreeBSD. Trying getting all the packages you want on Debian testing. Depending on the exact time of your attempt, you'll run into issues much larger than having to compile from ports. It is a silly expectation on your part to think FreeBSD needs to have current packages all the time for it's developmental branches. If RELEASE and it's associated packages don't work for you, be prepared to compile from source. That's generally true regardless of your $OS. -- Adam Vande More
