You'll be fine with setiathome, which is the native FreeBSD version.
If you want to run linux-setiathome, you will need the linux dependencies
too.

However, seti@home is transitioning towads BOINC architecture.
AFAIK, there is no boinc or seti-boinc port yet in the tree.
You could either run the old setiathome binary (seti@home project
is still serving work units and collecting results from it), and
wait until someone adds boinc and seti-boinc to the ports tree,
or you could try to compile them yourself (and if you can, please
create the port for us).
