Yes, thank you Warner, that is also my problem. As I wrote some weeks 
ago (05/28/2012) when starting this thread, I am using FreeBSD as a 
scientific desktop because of its good scaling properties. For some 
years now, FreeBSD fits all our needs with R, SAGA GIS, PostgreSQL and 
some more.

If I would not be able to run upcoming versions of R on FreeBSD any 
more, that would be really, really hard :-(
