The reason for my previous post, was to ensure that the issues that I encountered building the Hg-current build of PCS were not a result of running on Darwin/OSX instead of FreeBSD. This worry has been alleviated - the same issues occur on FreeBSD.
I just wanted to note that X11, for its age, is amazing. X11 + SSH with X Forwarding + VMWare Fusion + OS X for the win. Saves me from having to run a full GUI inside the virtual machine.
(Of course, it wouldn't be necessary if FreeBSD shipped with links, lynx, or wget. I understand that there's licensing issues, and that it comes with package management and curl.)
