Over BSD systems, GlusterFS is tested by the GlusterTeam only for server side. Typical way to compile would be as below.

./configure; make; make install;

NOTE:

The port seamlessly works fine with glusterfs-1.4.0rc1.tar.gz and above.
If you are trying ZFS over BSD, extended attributes is not yet supported. You may not be able to get AFR and Stripe translator to work, as they use extended attributes.
Please compile and install fuse from the fuse4bsd ports if you wish to try out GlusterFS client. (there are reports that lot of operations works fine on BSD fuse)
Recommended version of FreeBSD would be 7.0 as it has several kernel improvements under ZFS, UFS filesystems and also better support for fuse based filesystems. It will be constantly updated/supported from FreeBSD foundation as a stable release. Earlier releases are not supported by GlusterFS team.

If you have any queries, please do drop a mail to gluster-devel@nongnu.org
