Comment (by yawning):

 Since someone was complaining about this on tor-relays@ (See
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 relays/2014-February/003996.html), I went and looked at this some more
 since I have a FreeBSD box.

 Results:

 It doesn't work, and won't work with linux_base-f10, because the glibc in
 there is too old.  Unfortunately the rest of the linux dynamic libraries
 that are packaged for FreeBSD depend on linux_base-f10 (linux-f10-xorg-
 libs, linux-f10-alsa-lib, linux-f10-alsa-lib, linux-f10-dbugs-glib,
 linux-f10-gtk2).

 There is a linux_base-c6 port, but none of the attending libraries are
 there.

 There's some sketchy 3rd party repository on github that looks like it has
 the required packages (updated linux_base-c6, and all the linux-c6-FOO-
 lib), but I'm not brave enough to merge some random github repo into my
 ports tree and have it install random binaries (https://github.com/cpu82
 /skype-ports).

 HTH
