I think (since Linux Asterisk is set up for this) the FreeBSD Asterisk port 
should be set up to play MoH "out of the box".

This means either

1) putting mpg123 as a dependency (with all the disadvantages that entails / 
submitting the recently posted patch to the mpg123 port)

2) putting madplay as a dependency, and patching the moh.conf file on 
installation

3) having neither, and patching moh.conf and converting default file(s) to 
native format as part of the installation process.

Personally I'm inclined towards 2 as the middle ground...
