a few things to check for...
first, instead of     /etc/raddb/
use something like    /usr/raddb/

go into radius.h and change the expected source directories, this way the / partition of BSD won't fill
here is what to look for

/* Default Database File Names */

#define RADIUS_DIR              "/etc/raddb"
#define RADACCT_DIR             "/usr/adm/radacct"             


change to the approprite new directories..

#define RADIUS_DIR              "/usr/raddb"
#define RADACCT_DIR             "/usr/adm/radacct"             


otherwise, a simple make will do..

you aren't trying to use the DBM format? right ?
BSDI doesn't come with a stock dbm.h, etc..

now a few things that usually trip folks up..
Have you added the following to /etc/services ?

radius          1645/udp        radiusd
radacct         1646/udp               

and you did a 
set secret xxxxxxxx
and added the secret and IP to the clients file, then 
        
radiusd -x will produce debugging output which may be helpful if things
don't seem to be working.       

you also have the in-addr entries I assume ?

you can also tail the logfile to see what is happening, 
or, as we do, get the SNIFFFER :-)


Let me know if I can help, piece of cake, it works great.
