i think the comparision with FreeBSD is not favourable for W32:
- FreeBSD is a un*x flavour and follows standards that a lot of other
systems follow as well (unlike W32, which follows its own standards).
therefore, if Pd integrates well with a standard linux distribution (for
this to acchieve there are standard toolchains), it will automatically
integrate well with FreeBSD.
- FreeBSD "ports" (as in: packages) are provided by the FreeBSD folks,
not by "Pd itself" (e.g. miller). also it seems there is no "Pd" (or
"puredata") port.
