We use Laz/FPC in our FreeBSD company development team since years,
we mainly use trunk/svn versions directly on the developer machines.
(different checkouts / ~weekly) and a definitive version on the nightly 
build server and  test suite.

You may get trouble with threaded applications crashing with fpc 2.6,
and FreeBSD 9 which comes from a bad/incomplete semaphore definition IIRC.

Pierre fixed that (many thanks) a while ago but AFAIK it's not in the
2.6.1 fixes branch - so you may have to apply a patch manually.
-> search for posts from me, pierre, marco regarding FreeBSD and 
threads. or come back to me if you have troubles ...
