There is a BSD-focused buildbot at https://buildbot.pixelminers.net/ for admins running *BSD relays: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD. . .
The buildbot is a useful tool for Tor developers working on development versions of Tor. The BSDs are particularly important for a variety of reasons, including addressing portability issues with Tor code. Certainly the operating system monoculture problems with the Tor network shouldn't need any comments at this point (ie RFC5961).
For those interested in enlisting their BSD relay, this TDP blog post provides more information:

Cool. I had only 1 warning on an old freebsd 8 box:
src/or/connection.c:1796: warning: passing argument 1 of 'TO_OR_CONN' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Not sure which box it is, but running 8.x is probably a bad idea since 8.4 was EOL'd in August 2015:

I can't remember which Tor branch, but I do remember Tor at a certain release wouldn't run on FreeBSD 8.4.

The above warning is from 0.2.7.6, and runs there. As long as it works on the supported FreeBSD releases that people might have that's fine.
You might have to go back to 0.2.5.x or 4 to hit actual problems on any supported FreeBSD release. I've not tested, they're too old to bother.
