IIRC, FreeBSD is "officially" supported.  (It is infact, one of our
back-up options if we can't get it to build on Net.)

They use a packaging system called OpenPKG (www.openpkg.org), which is
RPM based, but exists in it's own directory structure (so you don't
interfere with existing installations.)  

If you're on a supported platform, it's a matter of downloading about 10
megs of source code and running a shell script (it bootstraps the rest).
Total build time was about 1-2 hours.

(But from experience, I'd definitely find someone who has built it first
on your platform.  For the life of me I couldn't get it to build on the
supported Fedora Core 3.)
