It is simply not a priority for the project. There's no attention being paid to portability concerns at the level required for portability to non-Linux platforms. As an OpenBSD user/dev, I believe this problem is much too pervasive in the free software community as a whole. But in Osmocom's case I really don't mind the lack of BSD support. The effort required for portability is non-trivial and I don't see any advantages in using FreeBSD instead of Linux as a base for Osmocom deployments. OpenBSD is out anyway since it doesn't have an SCTP stack. AFAIK none of the BTS hardware supported by Osmocom is supported by any BSD. And most of the active Osmocom developers don't have direct experience with BSD anyway. Their time is better spent making sure that Osmocom runs very very well on Linux.
