[syslog-ng] building 2.0 on freebsd

[Brian A. Seklecki]

VK:

I'd be happy to test a beta of the port for Endian issues on Sparc64 and 
AMD64.  I've also got a variety of 5x and 6x boxes on both archs on which 
I can smash bugs.

Just gotta cane `em.

I can also do the NetBSD pkgsrc work in pkgsrc-wip.sf.net
