On the Operating system page, there are links to other peoples' pages about running/installing MythTV on freeBSD, but as far as Nigel can tell, they are for MythTV-0.21 and don't help with Qt4, or MythTV trunk. These steps should help anyone on FreeBSD 7.2.

1) I am behind a proxy server, so as root I edited /etc/make.conf and added a line like:

sudo make install
