In case it helps: on FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE with fresh checkout of drm CVS: 
directory bsd fails to compile while bsd-core compiles fine. From a bit of 
browsing in CVS it seems that 'bsd' directory is lagging quite a bit behind 
its linux counterpart (there is drmfntbl-0-0-2-branch that hasn't yet been 
merged to HEAD as it was in linux dir which causes most of breakage).
(drm source in XFree86 4.5 RC1 also fails to build).
