Sorry for jumping into the thread so late.=20

The information from that 2012 post is still valid.

I still regularly build biber for FreeBSD and, as far as I know, I
am the only person doing that. I've just uploaded the 2.0 binaries:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/2.0/bi=
naries/FreeBSD/
http://anthesphoria.net/FreeBSD/Biber/2.0/

These portable binaries will be part of upcoming TeX Live 2015.

Using these binaries remains the only easy way to install biber on
FreeBSD, unless you want to do the messy and complex build yourself.

Best,
