Reliance on pthreads is becoming the #1 problem for porting Linux-
centric software to BSD.  Whether that is due to broken threads
implementations or general portability problems, I don't know.

You must be joking.
Some time ago I contributed a patch that replaces the use of sysvshm
with mmap() sharing.  That should be available on all likely target
platforms.  It's already used in the official FreeBSD and OpenBSD
ports of vorbis-tools.
