I have a branch in my repo that contains patches to make compilation
on FreeBSD easier:

https://github.com/trociny/ceph/commits/wip-freebsd

The branch have not been rebased against master since March though,
still I hope to find time in future to update and pull some bits
upstream.

Particularly, this patch contains packages dependencies list:

https://github.com/trociny/ceph/commit/2307706461ae09922c087065a8b50a04a61159b1

And this one configuration options I used

https://github.com/trociny/ceph/commit/dcee0c0635d37f2b36257c55a3cc69d05b5afe5e

I have seen several commits since that time in master aimed to improve
FreeBSD compilation, so I suppose some of my patches are not needed
any more.

Still, if you experince issues building upstream Ceph on FreeBSD, and
just want to try it on FreeBSD, you could try my branch:

git clone --recursive -b wip-freebsd https://github.com/trociny/ceph.git
cd ceph
./install-deps.sh
./do_autogen.sh
gmake
cd src
./vstart.sh # start dev cluster
./ceph -s # check it works
