nightly CVS isn't in a state to compile for me yet, maybe in another few days. Gonna try to hook up with some devs so I can get at it before they release so us FreeBSD users won't be out in the cold this time =)
Until then, I'm going to try to attach a diff against 0.4.2-RELEASE to allow it to compile out of the box on FreeBSD (4.8-prelease, at least). My old readme is gone, but I'll briefly summarize it here:
you need to install devel/linuxthreads to compile, in addition to mysql. The relevant headers should automatically put themselves into /usr/local/include/mysql if you don't futz with anything.
you *must* compile with make -f makefilefreebsd
Note: the problems from 0.4.1->0.4.2 consisted entirely of someone moving socket.h before types.h in several files.
as always, grab my patch from:

fix against 0.4.2
