1- Since I didn't tried it myself, I can't tell if qpimd would work on FreeBSD.
The first task is to check whether the FreeBSD kernel mroute API
differs from Linux.

2- As far as I know, no.

3- Do you have GNU Build Tools (Automake) installed ? If so, after applying
the patch, and before building, try: autoreconf -i --force
Please notice 'gawk' is also usually needed to rebuild with autotools.
Otherwise, you can post the build-related errors here so we can take a peek.

Cheers,
