I believe the OpenAFS server code works pretty well on any OS.
For a server, I'd suggest going with release 4.9 or later
("later" meaning "you build freebsd-stable from source").

It's the client side where more work is involved.  I must admit
that I am not sure of the current status of the OpenAFS client
for freebsd.  It might be that the client-support will work
better on freebsd 5.2 (which was JUST released), but I do not
know that for sure.
