Hi Tom--

Actually, I also ported GCD to FreeBSD last year, and developed the MPM on FreeBSD/GCD :-). It requires a post-8.0 version of 8-STABLE, and then libdispatch port + clang compiler. You can find out more here:

The clang dependency is due to C Blocks, and we have an unpatched gcc so gcc-compiled applications can't use blocks.
