Unfortunately I have no idea what is wrong, nor where to begin looking.
I've never had to run a tracker before, sorry.

I did just test it out on a machine:

wxs at ack ~ % uname -a
FreeBSD ack.atarininja.org 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #3: Tue May
27 12:45:19 EDT 2008
root at ack.atarininja.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
wxs at ack ~ % bittorrent-tracker --port 9999 --allowed_dir /home/wxs/tmp
>>> unable to setrlimit  not allowed to raise maximum limit
2008-07-07T17:40:44.632286 parse_dir: parsing directory /home/wxs/tmp
track: create_serversocket, port= 9999
2008-07-07T17:41:44.644721 parse_dir: parsing directory /home/wxs/tmp

It has been sitting there for a few minutes now, but I have yet to point
a client at it.

/home/wxs/tmp is where I have a torrent file that I downloaded from
freebsd.org.  I have no idea if this is the right way to setup a tracker
or not.  If it isn't I'll see about setting up a tracker properly and
see if I can reproduce your problem that way.
