Currently the FreeBSD port is broken and I didn't have had any time to fix
that. It searches for libraries that are present on FreeBSD, but for some
reason they are not found and linked.

It's not a specific FreeBSD version, the problem is on older versions too.

For the moment you still need to use the latest stable version 0.90.0 or if
you have it, the latest development version that sould compile is 0.91.4.
