I've found that for 95% of the source out there that has either a
BSD/OS Makefile entry or a FreeBSD one (but not both) will compile on
the other platform with little or no changes to the source. There are
some gotchas with BSD/OS 2.0 and its shared libs which preclude binary
compatibility, but that sort of thing can be solved with a simple
recompile. I've got a dozen BSD/OS machines here and soon some
FreeBSD ones as well. I am currently using the beta Windows
pmconsole, but a native *BSD one would be greatly preferred.

I find it difficult to accept that the poster who started the
troll could be ignorant enough to believe everything he said. I've
had to admin SunOS, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, BSD/OS and FreeBSD boxes, and
the two BSD's are by far my favourites. Now if only there was a
NetBSD port to the R8000... :)
