Yes,
 Given the code from sgi.com/sgi/fax/v2.2beta<highest number>, all you
need to do is:
 ./configure freebsd
 You have to use GNU make. You also have to have a kernel with FIFO
support (options FIFO in config file). You might need to completely
delete your copile/<kernelname> before reconfiguring. I think the
expr, expr, etc in FreeBSD are now good enough for FlexFAX, so the
README in ports/freebsd is somewhat outdated.
