I have been trying to get both netatalk and CAP to work on FreeBSD 2.1R
and 2.2SNAP but all attempts failed so far. Installation of netatalk on
Linux seems to be a breeze, I know several installations running this 
without any problems. And I have been considering installling Linux to
offer these services but now I am evaluating NFS clients for the Mac as
I don't wan't an additional platform to support.

Having either netatalk or CAP running on FreeBSD would be better (and cheaper,
NFS clients for Mac are all commercial AFAIK) but after searching the 
mailing-list archives and compiling different versions for more than 1 week
I gave up on it....

If you get it to work, please drop me a note!

All the best
