I seem to have found and resolved the issue.  The default FreeBSD make 
did not work with the source distribution.  Instead, I had to use gnu 
make (gmake) to build the code.  I also had to change the shell in the 
icon-theme-installer scripts in geda-gschem, geda-gattrib, and the 
libgeda directories to /usr/local/bin/bash (the default install location 
for bash on FreeBSD).

Hopefully this information will prove useful for someone in the future.

Thanks,
jon
