I've actually got FreePBX up and running on FreeBSD 8.2 (started
on 8.0, then 8.1).  I submitted a bunch of changes upstream to the
FreePBX people, most of those made it into their tree.  That was
probably a year ago or so.  The only thing that really rankles is this:
just give up about sticking the amportal.conf file anyplace other
than /etc/amportal.conf.

If you give up on that, you can configure everything else to live out of
/usr/local without serious issues.
