Neil's right, but saying that...

... I'm pretty sure an i386 (Free|Net|Dragonfly)BSD GTK2 version would
pretty much compile out the box when the code is out. The only vaguely
Linux specific thing I can think the code is doing is reading the
nanosecond timer - that's mainly for profiling and IIRC is supported
on BSD as well. So whilst it may not be supported, I'm pretty sure it
would be easy if not trivial to get working.
