Well, the top-of-trunk SVN builds on Mountain Lion (with some warnings - I filed a bug and submitted a patch for some 
of them), and, at least, runs tcpdump without problems, at least before it sees traffic.

It reported errors on a bunch of ioctls...

I'll look at porting those changes to FreeBSD and submitting them to the FreeBSD port maintainers.  (Their Mercurial 
repository may be based on a released version of valgrind rather than on the top-of-trunk; hopefully that won't cause 
too many problems.)
