Well, if you're running 1.5, my first guess would be it's the 1.5 branch
that's broken, not FreeBSD. But the rest of the email suggests we're
just broken on FreeBSD :)

Can you share what that tweaking was? I assume you mean you needed to do
some extra steps to get it to compile?

Can you try running without supergroups enabled, and see if it works?
I'm not saying that's the real solution, but it would help to know if
it's just supergroups that's broken. It wouldn't surprise me too greatly
if some platform-specific quirk makes it break.

And this might be a similar issue as in 1.5, as it's hard to tell what
the deal was in the 1.5 stack trace, as it didn't make much sense.

I'm not aware of many people that run OpenAFS servers on FreeBSD, but
we'll still listen to and fix bug reports.
