You should pickup the latest version of pthreads (pthreads-1_60_beta3.tar.gz)
from sipb.mit.edu:/pub/pthreads. It has support for FreeBSD 2.0, as for BSDI
support I don't currently have access to a machine but if you take either
the netbsd-1.0 files or the freebsd-2.0 files it should be relatively easy to 
get it to work.
