FreeBSD is not a supported platform for netatalk.  That's definitive,
no hearsay, I'm the author of netatalk.  Mark D. attempted a port of
netatalk 1.3.3b2 to FreeBSD 2.x.  His kernel changes are now part of a
FreeBSD distribution.  However, the changes have problems, the kernel
can't support netranges on the local wire.

We've just got a FreeBSD box up here, and we're going to try to make
netatalk work "correctly" on it.
