In my experience, the design of FreeBSD makes compiling projects much more easy. The standardized system really helps at many tasks.

But few projects are designed to only support FreeBSD. In the UNIX world, Autoconf still reigns supreme.

Autoconf is completely orthogonal to the base/ports split and FreeBSD vs Linux or any other UNIX.

All the ports are simply automatically configured with "--prefix=/usr/local".
