The easiest way to do that would be to dump *BSD and install GNU/Linux.

I don't really understand why people struggle with *BSD when everything
"just works" on GNU/Linux.  I see this sort of thing all the time, on
lots of open source projects.

If you have lots of free time then by all means spend a large chunk of
it doing battle with *BSD.  If not then save yourself the effort and
just install GNU/Linux.  The Gentoo distro, with Linux 2.6.7, works for
me.
