This depends on how you installed FreeBSD 3.2 .  Did you install the
developer distribution?  If you chose a minimal installation, you may be
missing stuff.

Install the developer distribution (including sources).

We don't have a protocols.h .  Sounds like the software you downloaded
is for Linux.  Linux's libc doesn't have all the inet stuff in it, so
software intended for compilation under Linux will expect additional
headers and libraries to be present for inet support.

You may find the software you're looking for in the FreeBSD Ports
Collection, in which case you can compile it within a FreeBSD-friendly
framework or download a pre-compiled package.  Check out:
